Counselling seminars are being held continuously, an hour for each subject. Subject experts from the colleges are there to explain what each subject entails, its pros and cons and job prospects. J. Adhavraj, Managing Partner of Outreach, says, “Every year students have to go from college to college to get to know the course and fee details. This expo has brought representatives of many colleges under one roof so that students can prepare themselves with the required information. Once the results are out they can straight away go for admission without wasting any time.” Along with many college and course brochures, students get a free career guide containing the location and phone numbers of colleges.
