A seminar to brief students on industry practices and guide them on choosing a career path was organised in the city recently.
The daylong programme at Mahajati Sadan was divided into two segments — one for students who are in classes XI and XII and the other who have completed Class XII.
Two seminars, for both the groups, catered to the needs of the current day and age, said one of the organisers.
The programme was an initiative of Mohit Educomp Pvt Ltd (MEPL), an institute of commerce based studies who called it the MEPL CareerUtsav.
About 2,000 students attended the event themed Miles to go before I sleep. “A right career choice made today makes half the job done for a successful tomorrow,” said Mohit Agarwal, founder of MEPL during the programme.
