CBSE has released a career guidebook to help students and parents navigate post-Class 12 choices with expert advice, resources, and planning tips

With the CBSE Class 12 Board examination results announced, students and parents are turning attention to the next steps – which course and college to choose depending on the student’s career aspirations.

Navigating Life After Class 12

The period following the completion of Class 12 is often fraught with uncertainty. Students face pressure from multiple directions, whether to pursue their passion, follow their friends, heed parental advice, or take inspiration from elder siblings. Recognising the challenges of this crucial stage, CBSE has introduced a dedicated career guidebook aimed at supporting students and their families in making informed choices.

Support Through Guidance And Expertise

In this fast-evolving world, students have a wealth of career options at their disposal, making it difficult to pinpoint the most suitable path. While many seek guidance from professional career counsellors, this is not a practical solution for all.

To bridge this gap, CBSE has collaborated with career counsellor Mohit Mangal to create a comprehensive guidebook. This resource is intended to empower schools, parents, and communities in preparing students for their next steps.

What The Guidebook Offers

Tailored for parents, the CBSE career guidebook offers a range of valuable insights, including:

1. A wide overview of career options across various fields
2. Guidance on aligning career choices with individual strengths and interests
3. Important factors to consider when selecting colleges and courses
4. Information on employment prospects in both public and private sectors
5. Details on scholarships and education loan opportunities

This timely initiative by CBSE aims to ease the pressure on students while ensuring they are well-equipped to make decisions that align with their aspirations and strengths.
