In another interview with a student from Government Higher Secondary School, Chenogi Kent, she said that career counseling sessions are really important for students and thanked the resource persons for organizing it. She further added, the discussions cleared her doubts and she looked forward to such more events in the future.
A teacher from Christian School Tseminyu, Bijit Phukan said, “I really liked the program and I feel that such events are really important for the students around here. Since Tseminyu is a distant area, our students don’t get such exposure and opportunities resulting in them wandering around after getting through HSLC. They are ignorant about many courses, so such guidance programmes should be initiated.”
