Why schools need this
The pressure on schools has changed.
Parents no longer measure schools by marks alone. They ask what happens after Class 10 — and they expect the school to have an answer.
No personalised guidance
Generic aptitude tests don't map to real careers. Students still leave Class 10 unsure of streams, electives and next steps.
Admissions & retention
Parents choose — and stay with — schools that visibly invest in a child's future beyond marks.
CBSE is evolving
New guidelines expect schools to embed career awareness. Our framework is already aligned with them.
