Class 10 students were the first to interact with the event, and although these children were in their primary stage of career planning, the MCG team conveyed the significance of having an idea of what they wanted to do, so that they could pick a stream accordingly in 11th. The general consensus was that students had a rough idea of what to do, but didn’t know how to pursue it. The MCG team advised students to take the ‘Stream Suggestor Test’, which is a type of psychometric assessment that tells class X students on suggestion of a stream that is suitable for them can be made after 10th class and take advice on possible career options after 10th.To those students who were undecided or completely stuck as to which career to pick, the MCG team showed them three informative booklets. The first one that was showed had information about vocational careers with 3D Graphics and Animator, App developer and Store Manager being amongst the most popular vocational careers. The MCG team noted the extent that these types of careers positively affect students.
The second booklet showed was the ‘New Age Careers’ booklet. When shown, the students expressed lots of interest in this booklet, with many students interested in careers such as Bio Medical Engineer, Ethical Hacker and Automobile Designer.

Information about various streams leading to careers is also presented in an “easy to understand” format. All three booklets were given out to students, free of charge as part of a special objective, aimed at giving students the opportunity to develop their knowledge of possible careers.
