Guiding Futures: Career Guidance and Science Stream Selection Orientation

A Career Guidance and Scientific Stream Selection Orientation was organised for the parents and students of Class X on Saturday, 24 October 2026. The session was conducted by Mr Arindam Bhattacharya, Founder Partner, Cradle Solutions, who provided valuable insights into diverse academic and professional opportunities to help students make informed choices about their future.

Through real-life case studies, interactive discussions and practical examples, the resource person familiarised participants with a wide range of traditional career options as well as emerging and interdisciplinary career fields. He emphasised the importance of identifying individual interests, aptitudes, strengths and abilities while exploring suitable career pathways.

The session also highlighted the key differences between degree and diploma programmes in terms of duration, academic structure, specialisation, eligibility and career prospects. Parents and students gained a clearer understanding of the opportunities offered by both pathways. Special emphasis was laid on selecting the Science stream based on students’ academic preparedness, interests and long-term aspirations rather than peer pressure or popular perceptions.

An interactive question-and-answer session enabled parents and students to seek clarification on their specific concerns and gain practical guidance on stream selection and career planning.

The session was informative and engaging, providing valuable clarity on the evolving career landscape and the academic pathways available to students. It reinforced the importance of making well-informed choices based on individual potential and aspirations, while highlighting the role of parents in supporting students through this crucial phase of their academic journey.
