Career guidance programmes in Tirunelveli, Kanniyakumari and Tenkasi districts
The career guidance programmes for benefiting the students who have passed Plus Two and for those who are applying for higher studies was held in Tirunelveli, Tenkasi and Kanniyakumari districts on Wednesday in which academicians and experts from various fields addressed the participants and their parents.
Inaugurating the event at SCAD Engineering College, Cheranmahadevi, District Collector R. Sukumar appealed to the participants to pursue their dream and passion in a college or university to become a graduate at least, with the guidance and help of the government. On becoming graduates, they should either land in a dream job with a lucrative package or start their own business venture to provide jobs for others also. Or, they should continue their postgraduate and doctoral studies either in India or abroad if their academic thirst still remained unquenched.
'Since the government and the banks are ready to support deserving candidates, the students should concentrate only on their studies to scale greater heights. Hence, your academic journey should continue,' Dr. Sukumar said.
As many as 18 stalls had been put up by the educational institutions, banks and the counsellors to clarify the doubts of the students, who were also given career guidance handbook, detailing the educational programmes being offered by various government and leading private colleges and the universities across the country.
Chief Educational Officer Sivakumar, Dean, Anna University Regional Office Shenbaga Vinayagamurthy, Joint Director of Collegiate Education Ravindran and others participated in the programme.
Students from Cheranmahadevi, Ambasamudram and Paappaakudi areas participated in this event as similar programmes were organised at Maria Engineering College, Valliyoor on May 16, Sarah Tucker College, Palayamkottai on May 20, and KMP Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Maanur on May 22.
Kanniyakumari District Collector R. Alagumeena, who inaugurated the career guidance event at Pon Jesley Arts and Science College in Nagercoil, said the 655 Plus Two students, who had failed in one or two subjects, should take the supplementary examination, to be conducted shortly. Hence, these students should make use of this opportunity with the guidance of their teachers to pass in these subjects, so that their academic journey would not get affected during the upcoming academic year.
'After close scrutiny of the students' performance and their family background, we have handpicked 1,080 participants for this event and hence have made arrangements for their spot admission in government and the government approved institutions for pursuing their higher studies,' Ms. Alagumeena said.
