Step-by-Step: How to Start Career Planning
1. Know Yourself
Ask:
What subjects excite me?
Do I prefer working with people, technology, ideas, or nature?
Do I enjoy solving problems, leading, building, designing, or helping?
Tip: Use online career interest tests or aptitude quizzes.

Choose your subjects wisely in Class 11 based on your goals.
Build skills outside school – public speaking, coding, art, etc.
Do internships or volunteer work to gain real-world exposure.
Talk to mentors, teachers, or career counselors for guidance.
Remember:
It’s okay to feel unsure. Career paths can change. What matters is that you take small, smart steps and stay open to learning.
