Jaintia Eastern College organises career mentoring programme

GUWAHATI, November 9, 2026 — The Career Guidance and Placement Cell of Jaintia Eastern College, Khliehriat, organised a career mentoring programme on Thursday to guide students in making informed decisions about their future careers.

The programme was chaired by B. Papang, Member Secretary of the Career Guidance and Placement Cell, who outlined the objectives of the initiative before introducing the resource person, Ranjan K. Baruah, Founder of the North East Youth Foundation, Guwahati, Assam.

In an interactive session, Baruah shared insights into career planning, identifying personal strengths and exploring emerging career opportunities. Using practical examples and engaging directly with students, he stressed the importance of self-awareness in choosing a suitable career path.

He observed that every individual has unique abilities, interests, talents and aspirations. Students, he said, should avoid blindly following the choices of others and instead identify their strengths and pursue careers that match their interests and potential.

He also encouraged students to remain open to learning, explore new opportunities and make informed decisions about their professional futures.

The programme provided students with an opportunity to interact with an experienced resource person, seek clarification on career-related concerns and gain a broader understanding of available career opportunities.
