Also, includes parental influence and their experience, family profession, peer pressure and well – wishers note.
With lot of resources and available inputs, it becomes challenging to validate the quality of information. Now the question arises, how to go about it? Here comes, the self – analysis questionnaire. Understand your nature, know your personality, choose the course based on your area of interest or passion, gain knowledge and information through various sources like media, professionals, career sites, subject matter experts and seniors.
Ideally, you should decide the course based on real future market demands not on created market demands. Never decide academics based on someone’s interest, college brand name (IITs are topped because of the quality of student not by institution name) or campus placement opportunities.
It’s very imperative to choose the course based on individual’s caliber and interest. The key points to be considered in choosing the course are BRIGHT:
