The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has unveiled a comprehensive set of career guidance materials, developed in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, to assist students in exploring diverse career pathways. Created in collaboration with PSS Central Institute of Vocational Education (PSSCIVE), NCERT, and UNICEF, the resources include 500 career cards covering 21 domains across STEM, non-STEM, skill-based, and interdisciplinary fields. Each card offers detailed information on job profiles, essential traits, entry pathways, course fees, scholarships, loan options, and institutions offering relevant programs.
This initiative aims to reflect NEP 2020’s focus on personalized career counselling and the use of technology to empower students to make informed career choices. The resources can be accessed HERE. The detailed circular issued by CBSE can be accessed HERE.
