CAREER PLANNING
Students of +1 and 2 have already planned their further education in a particular field and selected the groups accordingly. But that is only tentative planning. Here comes the most of it.

The simple way to extract the best from a person is to approach with a request saying that, “I want your advice please, or can you please guide me?”
This request will work magic! And the people approached are sure to feel happy about you and offer all the help they can.
