In a brand new Series, Univariety presents ‘Student Journey’- a unique milestone approach to making crucial career-related decisions. The process of Career guidance differs for every grade and the student journey is also different. In Part IV, we explore the journey for Class XI.

In the previous part, we covered what the student journey is ideally like for career guidance in Class X. We also covered the career guidance program for Class IX. Now, we move on to Class XI.

Class XI is when students start studying subjects they chose which can be aligned with the courses they want to pursue further. The student journey in this section is explained below. 

Milestone 1: Finalize Courses

Finalize Courses comes in a circular form with Maths, Humanities, Science.
First, enter your 12th Grade subjects and expected scores. This will help you estimate the courses you are interested in. 

To identify your Top 3 Best-fit career options, the Ideal Career Test is a simple assessment. You will get course recommendations based on your career choices. You can see the recommended careers as a Venn diagram.

  • Ideal Career Test is perfect for those who want to find their true calling and discover the right career options.
  • The assessment output of the Ideal Career Test is in the form of a 14-page detailed report assessing and identifying a student’s natural inclination for further studies, areas of improvement, skills, values and personal characteristics.
  • The report is divided into 4 sections. The motivation section identifies the top 3 factors that help to perform better. The aptitude section evaluates the verbal, numerical, spatial, critical dissection and acuteness aptitude.
  • The interest section suggests the careers that will be of interest to keep the students motivated. The personality section evaluates the personality type.
  • Ideal Career Test Benefits:
  • Gives a detailed report of career motivators. Eg: Interest, Respect, Stability

Milestone 3: Finalize entrance exams, shortlist colleges:

Kick-off this milestone with the first activity: Shortlist Colleges

For each combination of Country and Course, you get colleges under 3 buckets.

Aspirational, best-fit, and safe. One has to ensure that you select at least 3 colleges from each bucket.

The next step is to shortlist entrance exams. Be it National, state, or Institutional- we need to shortlist entrance exams for different combinations, of course, country and college.

Post that one needs to finalize entrance exams and eventually rate the milestone.

In short, Class XI focuses on shortlisting and finalizing various options in the student career journey. With this stimulated, achievable milestone plan, it becomes easier for students to face Class XII with clarity in their career plans.
