Findings from various surveys and research reports in India (2024-2025)

Inadequate career planning, lacking information on career prospects and required skills, might result in unsuccessful entrance exam attempts, poor choices of subjects/skill training programmes and ultimately, dissatisfaction in a job.

Lack of holistic career assessment tools to identify the right-fit careers according to one’s true abilities and other qualities, as well as lack of appropriate career counselling could lead to wrong choices of career and education.
