Science-Driven Career Guidance for Your Institution
Dheya's RAPD assessment and certified mentor network give schools and universities the psychometric infrastructure to deliver NEP 2020-aligned career guidance — and prove it.
Why career guidance at most institutions falls short
Generic Counselling
Most school counsellors offer advice based on marks and peer trends — not psychometric evidence. Students need science-backed direction, not opinions.
No Placement Data
Universities struggle to demonstrate ROI to prospective students and accreditation bodies without verified placement rates and outcome tracking systems.
NEP 2020 Compliance Gap
NEP 2020 mandates career guidance from Class 9. Most institutions lack the psychometric tools and structured frameworks needed to meet this requirement.
Parent Pressure Overrides Student Fit
Without objective assessment data, students defer to family opinion. Institutions lack evidence to support students in navigating parental expectation vs. genuine aptitude.
Accreditation Pressure
NAAC, NIRF, and NBA increasingly weight career guidance infrastructure. Institutions without documented career development systems face scoring disadvantages.
Reactive Not Proactive
Career guidance is typically activated at crisis moments — failed entrance exams or mid-college uncertainty — rather than early enough to prevent wrong choices.
