The event will be held on May 31 at C.V. Raman auditorium, KLE Society’s R.L. Pre-University College of Science, College Road
Having done well in II PU or Class 12 exams, it is just the time for the young students to take a right step ahead to choose next course that suit one’s aptitude and interest which could take you closer to your dream career. The dilemma over choosing a course is obvious given the fact that there are hundreds of course-options outside the bandwidth of professional courses like engineering and medicine.
The Hindu EducationPlus career counselling session-2014, an off-page extension of the weekly supplement The Hindu EducationPlus, has taken up the responsibility to play a catalytic role to take the students out of their predicament and lend them a helping hand to take a right decision in choosing a course that suits them best. The event is scheduled to be held at C.V. Raman auditorium, KLE Society’s R.L. Pre-University College of Science, College Road in the city on May 31 (Saturday) from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.; an opportunity which many students and parents have been looking forward to.
The session will have officials from the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) explaining the procedures of online counselling and admission that follows the Common Entrance Test. Leading academicians, including general education experts will speak and give valuable tips on various courses and career options, and also interact to clear doubts and confusions.
