Aligning academic choices with long term goals

Ram is a bright and talented student currently completing Grade 8 at an IGCSE school in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. His parents approached us for career counseling and guidance for subject selection in grade 9, along with gaining insights into the expectations of top universities in India and abroad. The counseling sessions began with a discussion about Ram’s long-term aspiration: to establish his venture. With this goal in mind, Ram expressed his interest in pursuing the commerce stream starting from grade 9. During a detailed interaction, it was revealed that Ram is exceptionally gifted in mathematics and excels in the sciences while maintaining high scores in social sciences. In addition, he has an outstanding record of extracurricular achievements.  The career expert guided Ram in understanding the  academics and co-curricular expectations of leading universities and emphasized the importance of continuing with the sciences in Grades 9 and 10. At this stage, students often lack a holistic perspective on development, making it our responsibility to help them leverage their strengths and create a comprehensive career roadmap to achieve their goals.
