Deputy Commissioner K.V. Rajendra provides valuable career advice to students at The Hindu Education Plus Career Counselling 2024 event.
Students at the crossroads and involved in making informed career choices received tips on planning their future from Deputy Commissioner K.V. Rajendra who said that the road to success was simple provided it entailed determination, dedication, discipline and sincerity in their approach to their subjects and field of study.
The DC was speaking after inaugurating The Hindu Education Plus Career Counselling 2024 held at the Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering in the city on Saturday, May 11.
Allaying fears arising out of confusion in students about the way forward, he said that it was a normal state of mind experienced by every individual at this stage in life.
But one could gain more clarity and dispel false notions through interaction with professionals and people who have gone through that journey besides identifying and zeroing in on one’s interest and passion, said Mr. Rajendra.
Drawing from his experience, Mr. Rajendra narrated his journey as an SSLC topper to his days in PUC, securing a medical seat to pursuing and acquiring a medical degree, his preparation for the civil services examination, and qualifying for the coveted Indian Administrative Services.
Mr. Rajendra dispelled myths that pursuing an MBBS course was time-consuming and was beyond the financial capabilities of the middle class.
He said post-graduation in any branch of the medical field after MBBS fetches a handsome stipend good enough to run a family. “Don’t be misled and dismayed by the negative perception and views of people whose intention may be good but are uninformed and pursue your passion as there was financial incentive,’’ said the DC.
