Nobody has the right to make suggestions or statements that might affect you. Never second-guess your abilities, and take the initiative to make vital decisions without any influence. Without getting side-tracked, you should focus your attention on your goals and seek to find solutions to meet them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Throughout my journey as a career counsellor, I have witnessed many students not being aware of various career options. They often get influenced by their peers or parents and make career decisions that do not align with their interests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">One such instance involved a student of mine who, following her 12th board exams, was undecided about her career goals. She has always followed her parents&#8217; instructions and consulted them before making decisions. But she got confused and called me for assistance when it came time to choose her college streams. I understood her better after having a one-on-one conversation with her. She enjoyed drawing, designing, and art and was an introvert. After evaluating her preferences, dislikes, and areas of interest, I advised her to pursue a B.Tech in architecture engineering. Even after counselling. She still had trouble choosing the course. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">However, with psychometric assessments and her parents&#8217; encouragement, she was able to identify her areas of interest and pursue them. I felt a sense of accomplishment from assisting her by giving her pertinent information about the course and assisting her in pursuing her ideal career.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\">A Career in Architecture<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>What is B.Arc?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">B.Arch is a five-year undergraduate program in architecture that combines theory and practice to give students a thorough understanding of the planning, designing, and construction of various kinds of physical structures. A 10+3 diploma or a passing grade in math, physics, and chemistry are requirements for the B.Arc program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Skills that are required to pursue Architecture are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"> Basic drawing skills<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"> Good observation skills and memory\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"> Communication skills\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"> Computer proficiency<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"> Knowledge of business<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"> Design skills\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"> Advanced math\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">The B.Arch program is regarded as a professional course and lasts five years plus a year of practical training.
