Career Counselling
Students and early-career professionals deciding what comes next
A focused conversation about the decision in front of you — which exam, which route, which trade-off — with someone who has taken it.
- Choosing between GATE, placements & jobs
- Higher study vs industry
- Government job routes
- Branch & specialisation direction
- Skill roadmaps
For the one question you’re stuck on
GATE or placements? Government job or industry? Is a route you’re considering even worth it? These get answered badly by people with no stake in being right, and expensively by people with a stake in one answer.
How it works
A focused one-to-one, not a template. We start with your actual situation — marks, backlogs, finances, family expectations — then work through the routes genuinely open to you. If one is a poor fit, we say so. You leave with a written summary, not something half-remembered.
Who you’ll talk to
Mentors who took these routes themselves — GATE into an NIT and an IIT, research, government service, industry.
What this isn’t
Not financial advice, and not therapy. If you’re struggling with your mental health, talk to a qualified professional — and tell us, so we can be sensible about deadlines.
Questions we get about this
Why is career counselling only ₹499?
Because it is one session about one decision, not a full admission cycle.
JEE and GATE counselling run across weeks of rounds, deadlines and choice lists, and the work is proportionate. A career session is a single focused conversation with a written summary. Charging admission-counselling prices for it would be dishonest, and charging nothing would fill the calendar with people who are not actually deciding anything.
Is the first session free?
Not automatically, and we would rather say so than advertise a free session and then find reasons why yours does not qualify.
Send us your details and your rank. Depending on your situation we may offer a free counselling session — we decide case by case so it actually reaches the students who need it most, rather than becoming a sales device.
Either way you will get an honest reply about whether we can help and what it would cost.
Are your mentors actually working professionals?
Yes. Our mentors are people currently working in engineering, research and industry roles rather than full-time counsellors, which is the point — advice about GATE, research or placements ages quickly, and the people giving it should be close enough to the subject to notice when it changes.
Individual credentials for each mentor are listed on the about page.
