The scare of coronavirus infection and subsequent international travel restrictions may lead to many Indian students aspiring to go abroad for studies opting out this year or postponing it till next year.
March-April is the time students start shortlisting instituitions but if the covid 19 threat persists , there might be a fall in actual number of students going abroad.Acc. to the industry experts ,China-a top pick for Indian students who want to pursue medical-would not be considered as an option at least for one year.
Though it is highly expected that universities will adjust to the crisis and will postpone the application deadlines and would ease down the admission process .Also,they will make changes to their academic year schedule if the situation persists longer.
Career counselling helps students discover their true potential and interest in various subjects.Friends and family can very often provide incorrect guidance because their parameters of judging a career choice might differ.A counsellor is objective while giving guidance,with no considerations other than aptitude and interest.
Choosing a field of study that is not really suited to your interests or skills could prove disastrous.And that s where a career counsellor comes in.
