Psychologist Brinda Shah (26), who conducted the three-hour session, said: “One cannot decide a career by focusing only on the monetary gains or percentage secured. It is also important to keep your interest for that particular course in mind.”
“I loved the way the whole thing was planned out with full course details of not only the general streams but also the offbeat ones,” said Chirag Thakkar (17) of KJ Somaiya College.
Omkar Shingte (16) of Swami Vivekanand School said: “I want to take up automobile engineering but was confused as to how to pursue it after Class 10.”
