Introduction
Thank you for your__________________ words Sushmita maam—I build on
what you mentioned about the _________________________ and start with a
quote

Process precedes Goal.


Awareness precedes Attention.
Learning precedes Earning.
Counselling precedes Empowerment

Jai jagat and a very Good morning to Respected Founder Director sir
and Maam, Dr Geeta Gandhi maam, Senior Management and Principals
of all the campuses. And a cheerful morning to all the amazing class
10th joing us today. My name is Rashi Ahuja Dixit and as the Senior
Career Counsellor I am privileged to start the Career and College
Counselling segment of the ICSE MERITORIOUS STUDENT program .
In today’s time where Career and college counselling has become a
mandate under many state and National boards, City Montessori
School has been a torch bearer where there was a career counselling
wing as early as year 2012. And now there is a full time career
counsellor at every icse campus. The counsellors work keenly with the
student body of ICSE and ISC to ensure that students are aware of and
can access the kaleidoscope of profile building and career
opportunities available for our CMS students
Career and college counselling is the need of the hour because just as
there are a plethora of career options available to our students with
the advent of web3.0 there are even more careers that are becoming
obsolete. A career counsellor has to Match the student’s aim, skills,
interests, aptitude to the megatrends of the industry, but that is truly
the tip of the iceberg- because they also have to counsel, mentor and
guide the students to ensure they find lifelong success in their chosen
paths. In today’s era of social media influence, seeing is no longer
believing, students have to be counselled to make their career choices
based on REAL information. The Career counsellors provide the current
students with the valuable connect to the CMS Alumni network to
ensure they receive trusted guidance .
In our next segment we see the students who have benefitted from
this counselling service and secured seats in top universities and
careers. I present to your “Footprints- The Legacy of CMS Students”

Segment 4 – Diana Award

Thank you Ms Nupur maam- Students now you know all about the
International Award for Young People, I start by asking you a
question- Should we work to make our community or society
better? I suppose all will say Yes! What about our youth—should
they also work to make our society better? A hundred times yes!
Then I am happy to inform you that at City Montessori School we
don’t just provide such outreach opportunities but also encourage
our students to go above and beyond. We even motivate the
students by sending School wise nominations for various awards.
We have been sending nominations for the prestigious Diana Award
for many years. Diana Award is an International Award given to
youth between the ages of 9 and 25 for exceptional and consistent
social work. A minimum of 1 year of consistent focused social work
on sustainable development goals can make a student eligible for
this award.
Diana Award is given in memory of Late Lady Diana the Princess
of Wales, United Kingdom. The award is given once a year to 30 to
40 young people across the globe for their social action or
Humanitarian work. The award is an amazing opportunity for the
student to be a part of the Legacy Award Group where the awards
are presented by Prince Harry and Princess Kate each year to the
selected students. City Montessori School Career Counsellors not
only help the students access such opportunities but also provide
guidance in profile building for the award.
International awards such as Diana Award are an excellent way of
unlocking the potential of the youth--Many Youth that win Diana
Award have gone on to represent their countries in United Nations
also. Receiving an award as prestigious as Diana Award gives the
youth a seat at the table of decision makers and change influencers.
We aim to see Many CMS students winning this award and
inspiring passion and positive action from the coming generation.

And Respected Geeta Maam that career counselling services be

Career counselling has great impact and importance in the life of


students. As the job market evolves and technology advances,
Career counsellors of City Montessori School adapt by using new
tools, developing new skills, regularly upskilling and embracing new
approaches to provide students with the best possible advice.
Before I bid adieu, on behalf of the career counsellors of CMS I
would like to thank Ms Chanda Kundra, head of Career and
College Counselling Cell for providing us with invaluable guidance

Since its inception at CMS in 2012, career counselling has evolved to become a comprehensive resource that not only matches students with career opportunities but also mentors them for lifelong success. As the job market and technology evolve, CMS's career counsellors continue to adapt by embracing new tools and approaches, thus ensuring that students receive the most relevant and forward-thinking guidance . Future trends anticipated in this field at CMS include the use of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Web 3.0 to further enhance career exploration and guidance processes, enabling students to navigate increasingly complex career landscapes effectively .

CMS employs various strategies to support students aiming to study at top Indian institutions like IIT and AIIMS by focusing on both rigorous academic preparation and personalized career guidance. The school offers targeted coaching and study resources tailored to entrance exam requirements, such as those for JEE and NEET. Moreover, CMS fosters a culture of academic excellence and perseverance among its students, as reflected in the impressive number of students who crack these highly competitive exams each year . Through a dedicated career counselling cell, CMS also provides strategies for effective study plans, stress management, and scholarship opportunities .

CMS prepares its students to face challenges posed by disruptive technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Web 3.0 by incorporating these topics into its career counselling sessions and educational programmes. The school encourages students to stay informed about technological advancements and their implications for the job market. Additionally, through initiatives like the ‘Careers in the 4th Industrial Revolution’ talk, students gain insights into emerging career fields and skills essential for thriving in a technology-driven world . This proactive approach ensures that CMS students are well-equipped to adapt to evolving career landscapes .

CMS integrates sustainable development goals into student activities by encouraging outreach and social work opportunities. These initiatives are directly related to the Diana Award, which is granted to individuals who engage in at least a year of consistent social work aligned with sustainable development goals . The school not only puts forward nominations for the Diana Award but also actively assists students in building a profile that enhances their eligibility for such recognition. This approach not only raises awareness about global issues among students but also encourages them to be active contributors to societal betterment .

The CMS Alumni network plays a crucial role in career counselling by providing current students with trusted guidance and insights based on real-world experiences. By connecting students with alumni, the network facilitates mentorship and advice that is tailored to the specific challenges and opportunities within various industries . This relationship not only enhances the students' understanding of potential career paths but also fosters a sense of community and support among CMS graduates and current students, thereby enriching the overall career counselling experience at CMS .

The success of CMS students in cracking competitive exams like JEE and NEET is facilitated by the school's comprehensive approach to education, which emphasizes a strong academic foundation alongside career counselling. By providing continuous support and preparation resources, CMS enables its students to perform well in these rigorous entrance exams. The school's focus on holistic development and strategic planning is evident with more than 61 students cracking the JEE advanced exam in 2022 and 72 students succeeding in NEET . This showcases CMS's effectiveness in preparing students not just academically, but also mentally for the challenges of high-stakes tests .

International rankings considerably impact CMS students' choices when applying to universities abroad because these rankings highlight the research facilities, faculty experience, cultural diversity, and overall academic excellence of institutions. High rankings can influence students' perceptions of a university's prestige and potential career benefits. Consequently, CMS students often aim for top-ranked universities like those in the USA, UK, and Canada, recognizing these schools as gateways to advanced research opportunities and global networks that can enhance their future professional trajectories .

Receiving offers from top global universities such as those in the USA, UK, and Canada provides CMS students with access to world-class research facilities and faculty, as well as a diverse cultural environment . This exposure opens up significant professional and personal growth opportunities, enhancing career prospects globally. Additionally, the success of CMS students in securing these admissions with scholarships, especially into Ivy League schools, highlights the school's effectiveness in preparing students for the global stage and establishing a network that can greatly benefit students in their future careers .

Profile building is a crucial aspect of career counselling at CMS as it involves crafting a comprehensive representation of a student's abilities, achievements, and experiences that align with their career goals. The significance lies in its ability to make students more attractive candidates for university admissions and job opportunities both nationally and internationally. CMS encourages profile building through structured guidance in academic and extracurricular achievements, workshops, and a focus on sustainable development work, all of which are instrumental in developing a well-rounded and impactful student profile .

City Montessori School has been a pioneer in career counselling, establishing its career counselling wing as early as 2012, which distinguishes it from many other institutions. A full-time career counsellor is available at every ICSE campus to focus on student empowerment and career decision-making. CMS's approach involves matching students' aims, skills, interests, and aptitudes with industry trends, and providing real and trustworthy information to guide students rather than relying on social media influence . Furthermore, CMS counsellors facilitate connections with alumni to provide current students with guidance based on real-world experiences .
