dated : 13 February 2019

XL Education in collaboration with Gokhale Memorial Girls' College arranged a Workshop for girls of Second and Third Years. The basic objective was to counsel students about career options after their graduation. Most students of our Institution opt for post graduation courses but with the job market becoming highly competitive, It is imperative that girls prepare for their careers in a focused and informed manner.

Mr. Pradip Sengupta and his team put the girls at ease through exchange of pleasantries and then guided them through various examinations they could sit for, i.e. UPSC, SBI PO, RBI Grade B, SSC, IBPS PO even NET/ SET after post graduation through a detailed power point presentation. Then the girls were made to write one hour Competitive Examination Diagnostic Test to reveal their strong and weak areas and subsequently results were made available to them for further guidance. Our Institution was also provided with an Assessment Report. The positive outcome of the Workshop was that, our students were enthused about tackling some challenging Examinations, a task considered to be quite daunting even by the best of today's youth. According to XL Education-well organized and well informed preparation is the ultimate key to success and they are ready to provide exactly that to our willing students. View Gallery
