Career Compass

Work out the direction before the deadlines start

Most students pick a stream at fifteen, a degree at seventeen and a country at twenty two, and almost nobody helps with the first two. By the time a consultancy gets involved, the options have already been narrowed by choices nobody examined.

Career Compass takes 15 to 20 minutes and produces a a 360° academic and career profile: where a student's interests actually point, how they learn, what they are strong at, and whether the effort behind a stated passion is really there. ₹4,999, all inclusive.

What it looks at

Four things, asked several ways each

A single question about favourite subjects mostly measures which teacher a student likes. So each of these is approached from more than one angle, and the report reconciles the answers rather than averaging them.
  • Interests and inclinations

    What a student is actually drawn to across academics, sport, the arts and hands-on work, rather than what they have been told they are good at.

    Why it is in here
    Asked several different ways on purpose. A single question about favourite subjects mostly measures which teacher a student likes.

  • How they learn

    Visual, hands-on, discussion-led or reading and writing. Most students have never been asked, and it explains a surprising amount of underperformance.

    Why it is in here
    This is the section parents find most useful, because it often reframes a subject a child is struggling with as a mismatch of method rather than of ability.

  • Strengths and growth areas

    A plain strengths and gaps picture, written so a sixteen year old can read it without feeling judged.

    Why it is in here
    Growth areas are always paired with something concrete to do about them. A weakness with no next step is just criticism.

  • Effort behind the interest

    Whether a stated passion is backed by hours. Everybody says they want to be a doctor at fifteen. Far fewer are reading anything about it.

    Why it is in here
    The gentlest and most useful part of the report. It separates a genuine direction from an inherited assumption, early enough to act on either.

What arrives afterwards

A report a fifteen year old will actually read

Written to be read by the student first and the parents second, which is the opposite of how most of these are written. No scores presented as verdicts, and no career handed down as destiny.

  1. 01

    Ranked pathway options

    Directions that actually suit the profile, ranked, with the reasoning next to each. Not one answer handed down as destiny.

  2. 02

    A universal skill set

    The capabilities worth building whichever path is chosen, so the years before the decision are not wasted waiting for it.

  3. 03

    A dated roadmap

    What to focus on this year, next year and the year after, anchored to the grade the student is in now rather than to a generic timeline.

  4. 04

    A call to talk it through

    Included in the price. A conversation with the student and their parents about what the report found and what to do next, with nothing sold on it.

How it runs

Four steps, and one price at the front of them

  1. 01

    Tell us who the student is

    Name, grade, and a parent or guardian's contact details. That is all we need to begin.

  2. 02

    The student answers the questionnaire

    50 questions across the four areas, with progress shown as you go and an emerging picture forming from the first section onward.

  3. 03

    We build the profile

    The answers are reconciled rather than averaged, and the report is checked by a person before it goes anywhere.

  4. 04

    The report goes to the parents

    With the call to talk it through included in the price. Nothing further is sold on it, and there is no second invoice.

What this is not
Career Compass is a structured questionnaire producing educational guidance. It is not a psychometric instrument, an IQ test, or a medical or psychological assessment, and it does not diagnose anything. It is designed to start a better conversation between a student and their parents, not to replace advice from a teacher, counsellor or clinician.

Because a minor is involved
Because this is for students under 18, we ask for a parent or guardian's name and contact details, and the report is sent to them. We do not share a student's answers with anyone else, and a parent can ask us to delete the whole record at any time. Our privacy policy.

Already past this stage? The written assessment for applicants is the adult version: it scores you against published government and university criteria rather than mapping interests.

What happens next

Start earlier than everybody else does

The students who end up with real choices are usually the ones who worked out the direction two or three years before the applications were due. Twenty minutes of questions, one price, and a report that is yours to keep whatever you decide.

01₹4,999, all inclusive
One payment covers the questionnaire, the report and the call that follows it. There is no second invoice.
02The report inside a week
Checked by a person before it is sent, and addressed to the student as much as to the parents.

No obligation to buy anything, and we will not call you repeatedly afterwards.
