The career guidance segment of Future Minds 2025 was also elaborated on, highlighting a robust framework of psychological counselling and professional guidance services offered free of charge to all student visitors. These sessions aim to guide students beyond academics, helping them align their strengths and aspirations with the right educational pathways.
