What can I do when I start?

Sign up, explore every career, search colleges, courses and scholarships, build your Study Plan, try the job simulations and take the assessments and quizzes. Most full reports are included; one costs ₹249. The Career Clarity Session and Stride Launchpad are paid.

Students from about Grade 8 through college, and the parents supporting them, in any country.

Where should I start if I am unsure about my career?

Take the free Career Map: ten quick questions, then the careers that fit how you answered. Open the ones that interest you and see what the work is really like. Most students start unsure; exploring and trying the work is how the picture forms.

What do I get when I create an account?

Your own dashboard: every career profile in full, colleges, courses and scholarships, your Study Plan, job simulations, and assessments and quizzes with instant reports. Save what you like to your shortlist.

How is the Career Map different from a mentor session?

The Career Map suggests careers from how you answer ten questions, and it takes about three minutes. A mentor is a person who talks through your own situation with you. The free call is for a quick question; the Career Clarity Session adds a full assessment, a 1:1 session and a written plan.

When would I need a paid service?

Only when you want more than the free tools give. Career Clarity is for a decision you want an expert to look at with you, such as stream, subjects or course. Stride Launchpad is for building real projects with mentor feedback over 10 weeks.
