Until a decade ago, career counselling was not as popular among students and parents as it is now. Most people had fixed career paths laid out for them by their family or peers and stuck to this route even if they had zero interest in it. For most of these people, a career was nothing more than a job or business to make money. They practically never felt satisfied or happy with their career or the courses they chose to pursue.

Thankfully, some people decided to make a change to help students find their true calling in life. These people made it their mission to convince students that it is possible to choose a course of their choice and still build a career that pays well. Jitin Chawla is one of those revolutionary minds in the field of career counselling in India.

About Jitin Chawla:

Jitin Chawla completed his MBA from Faculty of Management Studies (FMS) in Delhi before joining a multinational company. After 5 years of working for other companies, he felt the need to build something on his own. That was when he founded his career counselling firm, Centre for Career Development. He combined his experience in the industry with his desire to help students in finding the right career path to establish his firm as the top career counselling centre in North India.

Mr. Chawla has been active in Indian media as well and has appeared on various popular news channels such as NDTV, CNN-IBN, etc. to reach out to the students across the country. This has enabled him to help students at a large scale. He frequently writes for popular newspapers and magazines to answer student queries related to study abroad programs, course choices, internships, etc. With an experience of over 16 years, Mr. Chawla can be considered the best career counsellor in the country.

Here are the services provided by Jitin Chawla’s Centre for Career Development:

Psychometric Test and Career Counselling: Every student who wants to get career advice needs to take the career aptitude test. This test helps the counsellor understand the aptitude and personality of the student. They can guide the students more efficiently since they know which career options will be best for the students based on the results of this test.

Career Workshop: The career workshops organised by the Centre for Career Development help students plan their career better. These workshops help students in understanding the career options available to them in India and abroad. They also learn about the different short-term courses, internships and other opportunities that they can avail to do well in their lives.

Career Fairs and Meets: The career fairs and meets give a platform for students of the host school to listen to Jitin Chawla about choosing courses or career options. The students also get a chance to interact with the counsellors to gain more clarity about the steps they need to take to have a successful career in the future.

Guidance for Summer and Winter Camps in India and Abroad: Many students are unaware of the various summer and winter camps that they can attend to learn leadership, team work, communication skills, etc. There are also courses that they can pursue to learn their chosen subjects in depth.

Guidance for Higher Study Programs Abroad: Studying abroad is slowly becoming a norm in India thanks to overseas education consultants. By taking guidance from counsellors at the Centre for Career Development, students can learn about the tests to take, how to prepare for these qualifying tests and how to apply for different study abroad programs.
