Few careers are as
potentially rewarding or as frustrating as that of a counselor
especially at the senior level, as this is the time when the
youngsters need to start thinking about their future careers, which
needs a lot of focus and mature thinking, and this is also the time
when they are going through a lot of confusions and emotional
upheavals. Each one is trying to find his/her identity while at the
same time trying not to be the odd one out. A Guidance counselor
tries to understand what motivates each student as well as his or
her skills and desires.

Career guidance at JIRSM starts at grade IX. At this stage students
are encouraged to learn about and get information of various job
profiles, which helps them to develop an awareness of the world of
work.
-
The next stage is in
grade X when the students get to know about their aptitude and
become aware of their interests and skills. This helps them to
decide which subjects to take up in the XI grade, so as to be able
to pursue the career of their choice. The students are also made
aware of the need to perform well in the Board exams, as these
grades play a major role in admissions at the university level.
-
The XI and XII
grades are the most crucial years as far as higher studies is
concerned. This is the time when students prepare and appear for
external tests like the SAT, TOEFL, IELTs, to enable them to get
admissions in universities in foreign countries. They are made aware
of the type of grades they require to enter the course and colleges
of their choice, by being exposed to representatives of a large
number of universities.
-
Apart from this,
students are encouraged to research and find out more about various
universities and their application procedures. Workshops are held to
apprize the students about the requirements for applications,
procedures and the various deadlines.
All sorts of aid are provided to help students through out the
admission process.
