Vinay chose physics, chemistry, Economics, and mathematics in grade 11 to prepare for the JEE exam and pursue engineering at the undergraduate level. While the choice of subjects was his decision, at the beginning of Grade 12, he started expressing disinterest in engineering and showed a preference for a BBA. He wanted to follow in his elder brother’s footsteps who had completed a BBA from Christ University Bangalore and later was pursuing an MBA in the US. Vinay was certain that preparing for and completing an engineering degree would be a waste of time, as he did not envision building a career in this field. He was unreceptive to any suggestions from his parents. The parents approached us and the career counseling session was scheduled.
In a detailed discussion, the career expert discovered that Vinay was falling behind in his coaching classes, leading to a decline in his performance. This demotivated him further and caused him to lose complete interest in engineering. Additionally, he developed a fear of taking the JEE entrance exam, making the situation even more worrisome.
To address this, the career expert adopted a bridge approach, exploring undergraduate programs in Business Analytics that aligned with Vinay’s science background. He was receptive to a few suggestions and agreed to consider alternate undergraduate programs that would help him develop the right skills and ensure employability immediately after graduating.
