For Schools · Classes VIII – XII

A continuum across five years — each stage built for the decisions students face right then.

From first career awareness in Class VIII to corporate readiness by Class XII, every student moves through the same scientific framework: assessment, one-on-one counselling, group guidance, and structured parent orientation.

Foundation Year

Class VIII — Early Discovery

The first exposure to structured career thinking. Delivered as part of Career Guru's official Government of Sikkim programme, which funds career guidance and counselling "for all students from Classes 8 & 9." Sessions are light-touch and exploratory — building curiosity and self-awareness well before any stream decision is due.

Class IX — Career Awareness

Class X — Stream Selection

The single highest-stakes decision point in school. A repeat psychometric assessment, one-on-one counselling, and dedicated parent counselling all feed into the Stream Selection Framework — Science, Commerce, or Humanities, chosen on evidence rather than pressure.

Class XI — Career Planning

With a stream chosen, focus shifts to building momentum — competitive exam guidance, early college awareness, and targeted skill development so students enter Class XII with a plan, not a scramble.
