Career counselling received from social peers can do more harm than good. Career planning is an imperative decision, which should be considered on a serious note. But statistics infer that 67 percent of students choose wrong career options due to two kinds of ‘Don’t Know’. First being ‘I don’t know why I’m choosing this career option?’ (because you haven’t been taught of it yet), and the second one, often confused with the first, ‘I don’t know which career to choose?’. “It is imperative to get these questions answered. And we at Tutelage are renowned for ‘Answering the why of what’. We put serious efforts in ability mapping of the students and suggest them destination even if we might have to say ‘No’,” explains Sagar Choudhary, CEO, Tutelage.

Founded by Sagar in 2012 with the sole purpose to familiarize new trends, implement real-time exposure and self-assessment methodologies to guide the students to their correct career path, the company prepares the students to cope with any stressors. Following this philosophy, the company has counselled 5000+ students through its team of strong counsellors, unique & transparent counselling process, and leveraging 750+ college tie-ups. This is why 26 out of every 30 students refer their friends to Tutelage. “We even provide scholarship & financial aid to the deserving students, and interviews & internship assistance after completion of course. Hope we have not overpromised!” expounds Sagar.
