Gone are the days when learning was confined to classroom teachings and acing examinations. Educational and vocational counselling post Class 10 examinations play a pivotal role in helping students realize their realm of interest and encouraging them to pursue the same.

An educated person will find it easier to understand a different point of view than the one who is uneducated. Education broadens a student’s horizons and acts as the way forward to greater enlightenment – the ultimate goal of every human in life.
