Career Guidance · India · NEP 2020

You've already been
guiding students.
Now let's make it official.

In thousands of schools, coaching centres, and WhatsApp groups across India, there is one person students and parents trust for career advice. That person is called a Career Mitra.

The Career Guidance Gap in India

93% of students
are unaware of career options beyond engineering and medicine (ASER/NAS data)
Class 10
When most students choose their stream — without proper guidance
1 counsellor
for every 500+ students in most Indian schools

Stream selection at age 14–15 decides a student's college options, career path, and often — their sense of self-worth. Most students make this decision based on peer pressure, family expectations, or fear. Not on their actual abilities or interests.

The guidance counsellor was always too busy. The right person was always you.

You're Already Doing This

Career Mitra is not a recruitment. It's a recognition.

🏫

The Teacher

You're the teacher who stays back to talk to students about their future — not because it's your job description, but because you genuinely care where they end up.

👥

The Community Connector

You're the person parents message when their child's board results arrive. Your WhatsApp is full of 'Bhai/Didi, what should my child do after 10th?' questions.

🎓

The Older Sibling / Mentor

You went through the confusion of stream selection and wish someone had guided you better. Now you do for others what nobody did for you.

📚

The Local Educator

You run a coaching centre or tuition classes. You see students' real strengths every day — strengths their school reports never capture.

If you recognised yourself in any of the above — you are already a Career Mitra. You just haven't had a platform to stand on.

How It Works

1

Register Free

Fill a short form — your name, location, languages, UPI ID. No fee, no deposit, no target.

2

Get Your Mitra Profile

After approval (usually 48 hours), you get a verified Career Mitra profile at shodham.com/m/your-name. Share it with confidence.

3

Guide Students Your Way

Share your unique referral link on WhatsApp, Instagram, or in person. Students register and complete their psychometric career assessment.

4

Earn Recognition, Automatically

Every plan purchase by your referred students — now or in the future — triggers a recognition fee. Paid on the 1st of every month, automatically.

What Happens to Students You Guide

🧠

Psychometric Assessment

Every student gets a Big Five personality + aptitude assessment. Not a guess. Not a quiz. A research-grounded profile built on established career science.

📄

51-Page Career Report

Mastery plan students receive a 51-page Career Intelligence Report — stream recommendations, career pathways, exam roadmap. The most comprehensive career guidance document available for Class 9–12.

🎯

Certified Counsellor Session

Students book sessions with certified career counsellors who use the assessment data — not intuition alone — to guide them.

In 10 years, a student will remember the person who helped them choose the right path.
You can be that person.

HOW RECOGNITION WORKS

Your Contribution Has Real Value.
We Recognise It.

When a student you guided purchases a career plan, Shodham shares a percentage with you — as recognition of the role you played in their journey. This is not a sales commission. It is an acknowledgment that your relationship created real value.
