range of career choices in humanities, science and commerce. For each career,
he provided them with a job description.
He also told them the kind of personality that fits particular professions,
about various graduate and post-graduate courses and named a few institutions
that offer them.
In addition to it, he
shared with them the importance of developing the willpower to spend more time
studying and highlighted various methods and techniques that can help students

The session also provided an excellent
opportunity for students to know more about foreign universities and their

concern, namely, higher studies. Mr. Chawla’s humorous inserts made the exercise
very enjoyable as well.
