NIRMAAN VIDYA HELPLINE’S APPEAL TO THE STUDENTS
Nirmaan Organization is a not-for-profit organization started by a group of BITS -Pilani University students
in 2005 with a passion to make India a developed Nation. Vidya Helpline is one of the flagship projects of
Nirmaan started in 2010 with a focus on career guidance to the students and dropouts. The project is first of
its kind in our Country and has been life changing for thousands of students across several states.
We are here to help you become successful and happier in your life by guiding you to realize what you are
really good at and help you to take up appropriate careers. In this context I would like to share the Success
mantra in your career and life in four simple steps
1. Identify your interest and choose a career in the area of your liking. All major achievers in the world
are those who have very keen interest in what they do and they made their career as their life. Let
the motto of your education be “Education is for increased quality of your life but not just for higher
earnings”.
2. Choose a (or a few) role model, preferably an achiever in the career you choose, and know more
about them, understand their characteristics, their life journeys etc.,
3. DREAM BIG in whatever you choose and give your best shot. If you choose to become a doctor
aspire to give the best treatment to your patients, if you want to become a civil engineer, aspire to
construct a bridge which can be effectively used by a few generations of people, if you choose to
become a chef, aspire to cook the best food to the customers in the entire world.
4. Continuous Hard work. There is no replacement for it but success is guaranteed. I repeat success is
guaranteed.
The current magazine is a wonderful compilation of important aspects about several careers from major
streams such as Finance, Engineering, Management, Fashion Technology, Agriculture,Pharmacy, Overseas
education, Civil services, etc., This magazine also has a few exercises on exploring oneself, career puzzles,
important colleges, scholarships, articles from renowned people etc., I can surely say this magazine, if used
to its entirety, can help you lay a clear career path for yourself.
We wish all the students and their parents, teachers use this booklet to increase their career awareness
and take a vital step of choosing appropriate career with complete and authentic information. We also wish
you become what you aspire to and contribute not only in your family growth but also in re-building our
glorious India. Keep dreaming BIG!!! No looking back. Forward!!! Forward!!! Forward!!!
We have only one passion, the rise of a great Nation.
JAI Hind!!!

Q.Significance of Psychomet-

A.Significance of psychometric
test lies in the fact that it aims
at exploring the unconscious
factors related to the talents of
a student. As has been revealed
by many career counsellors,
majority of students remain
confused about career options.
They are unaware of the skills
that they possess. At this time,
psychometric test makes them
aware of their talents and the
strengths. This then supports
career counsellors to guide the
student in the right direction.
Although, psychometric test
alone can’t help in determining
the career path for a student,
yet it builds a strong foun-
dation according to which a
student can be guided towards
the right career option.

qualified career counsellors on

are available to the students for
their different queries.
