Apeejay School, Saket, organised a career counselling session for students of Grade 10 and their parents. The session helped students and parents to explore academic options and career pathways available after the completion of secondary education.
The session was led by Mr Jatin Chawla, who provided guidance on the different academic streams and career opportunities students can consider after Class 10. The interaction aimed to help students approach an important stage of their educational journey with greater clarity and a better understanding of the choices ahead.
During the session, students were encouraged to reflect on their individual interests, abilities and aspirations before making decisions about their future studies. The discussion highlighted the importance of identifying personal strengths and choosing an academic direction that aligns with one’s aptitude and long-term goals.

The session also addressed the tendency among students to follow popular career trends or select streams based on peer influence. It emphasised that academic decisions should be made after careful consideration rather than simply following choices that are widely perceived as successful or conventional.
Parents were also an integral part of the interaction. The session offered them insights into how they can support their children during the decision-making process, understand their interests and help them identify suitable academic and career options. It highlighted the need for open conversations between parents and students, allowing young learners to express their preferences while considering available opportunities.




The interaction provided families with an opportunity to discuss the choices that follow Class 10 and gain a broader perspective on academic planning. It also underlined that career guidance is not merely about selecting a stream but about understanding one’s capabilities and making decisions that can support future growth.
The session concluded with students and parents gaining greater clarity on approaching the next phase of education. Through the initiative, Apeejay School, Saket, sought to encourage thoughtful academic planning and equip students to make informed choices about their future.
