Ans: To begin with, it’s highly recommended that your daughter takes a Psychometric Career Assessment. This will help identify her interests, strengths, and personality traits, leading to the most suitable career options for her.

If she is inclined towards the Commerce stream, she should start preparing early — ideally from Grade 11 — for the CUET (Common University Entrance Test). Before starting, make sure to thoroughly research the CUET exam pattern, list of participating Central and State Universities, the courses they offer, placement records, and which programs are currently in demand.

In addition to CUET, it’s also wise to shortlist 8–10 reputed private universities known for their quality education and placement support. These could be in your state, neighboring states, or metro cities. Check if these colleges conduct their own entrance exams or participate in CUET-based counselling.

Early preparation is crucial, as competition is high for top programs in reputed institutions.

Lastly, help her explore undergraduate programs that are in high demand today, as this will give her clarity and direction in choosing a career path that is both relevant and rewarding. All the best for your Daughter's admissions!
