What is CareerGrid?

CareerGrid is India's most structured career guidance platform designed specifically for Class 9-12 students. We help young people navigate one of the most critical decisions in their education: choosing the right stream (Science, Commerce, or Arts) after their 10th board exams.

Unlike generic career tests, CareerGrid identifies your top 3 career clusters from 9 research-backed career directions through a scientifically designed 15-question quiz. This structured approach gives you clarity on which stream aligns with your interests, strengths, and career aspirations.

Our mission is to democratize access to career guidance—making it available for free to every student in India, regardless of their socioeconomic background or access to expensive counsellors.

Our Mission

Democratize career guidance in India

We believe every student deserves access to structured, professional career guidance. In India, career counselling is often expensive, limited to urban areas, and heavily influenced by parental pressure or outdated notions about "good careers." CareerGrid changes this by offering a free, structured, and India-focused career quiz that respects student autonomy while involving parents constructively.

The Problem We Solve

In India, choosing a stream after 10th is a high-stakes decision often made under pressure:

  • Limited guidance: Many students have no access to professional career counselling or must pay ₹1,500-₹10,000 per session.
  • Parental pressure: Decisions are often driven by family expectations or "safe" career choices rather than genuine student interests.
  • Narrow thinking: Students often think only of engineering or medicine, unaware of 100+ other rewarding careers available.
  • Wrong decisions: Choosing the "wrong" stream often means repeating a year—a costly mistake that affects student confidence and career trajectory.

CareerGrid solves this by providing free, structured, student-centered career guidance that gives every Indian student clarity on their strengths and options—regardless of their background or ability to pay for counselling.
