At K.R. Mangalam International School, career guidance is not treated as a one-time intervention but as a continuous and evolving process that begins early in a learner’s academic journey. Recognising the importance of informed decision-making in today’s competitive world, the school has launched monthly career counselling sessions for learners from Stage 7 to A Level in collaboration with renowned experts Mr. Jitin Chawla and Mr. Rudra Agarwal.
