In a bold step toward democratizing career guidance and promoting future-ready education, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has launched an AI-powered career guidance portal for students of Classes 9 to 12. This groundbreaking tool is designed to offer personalized career suggestions based on a student’s interests, academic performance, aptitude, and personality traits.
Developed in collaboration with AI-powered career tech platforms and education think tanks, the tool aims to empower students—especially from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities—with access to comprehensive career exploration services that were earlier limited to urban and private institutions.
💡 What the AI Career Tool Offers
The CBSE AI-powered portal is a free, self-assessment and guidance platform available to all CBSE-affiliated school students and educators. It includes:
- Interest and Aptitude Tests
Psychometric assessments powered by AI to map strengths and preferences. - Personalized Career Matches
AI recommends suitable careers based on test results and learning history. - In-Depth Career Library
Information on 1000+ careers including job roles, salaries, future demand, and required qualifications. - Academic Planning
Helps students align subject choices with future careers, competitive exams, and college programs. - Regional Language Support
Available in multiple Indian languages for inclusivity and accessibility. - Parental Access
Parents can monitor progress and support their child’s academic journey.
🎯 Who Can Use It?
- Students from Classes 9 to 12 in CBSE-affiliated schools
- School counsellors and teachers (to guide students using insights)
- Parents who want to assist in making informed career decisions
📈 Why It Matters
According to the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, career guidance is a critical part of school education. Yet, over 70% of students in India reportedly make career choices without access to professional counseling. This tool bridges that gap using AI to provide timely, accurate, and unbiased career information.
“Our goal is to empower every student in India with smart guidance tools so they can choose a career not by chance, but by choice,” said a CBSE spokesperson at the launch event.
