“You have not mentioned the stream you are pursuing in class XII,” says Aruna Manoharan to a student at her T. Nagar office in Chennai. For the marketing consultant who provides services for a couple of foreign universities as well as education consultancy services for Indian universities, April- May is the time when the most clients approach her.

Her present client, a first-time visitor, who has just completed class XI is curious about the possibilities ahead. “I enrolled for JEE classes and left them midway. I want to pursue a career in law,” says the student, and immediately, Aruna suggests the CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) for admission to the 5-year Integrated LL.B even as she accesses a presentation with details of law courses in the country.

Waiting outside are many students from the science stream browsing through brochures of IIT JEE, AIEEE, WBJEE, ORJEE, VITEEE, KIITEE and many other entrance tests, while a few other others flip through pages of information on medical entrance tests including AIIMS, AIPMT and JIPMER.

It is important to have a plan, especially if you are a class XII student. In about two months, over 100 entrance tests will provide students an opportunity to pursue careers in over 89 different fields from aeronautics to textiles. Accessing the right information and planning seem to be the key to making the right choices.

So, you make him fill up as many forms as possible,” she adds.
