Career counselling in Gurugram — clarity beneath the pressure
Gurugram (Gurgaon) is a city of high achievers and higher expectations. Its schools are competitive, its parents are ambitious, and its students are surrounded by success stories — corporate careers, foreign universities, top ranks. All of that is a gift. But it can also drown out the one question that matters most: does this particular path fit this particular child?
Career counselling in Gurugram, done properly, restores that question to the centre. Sachin Bajaj — M.Sc Clinical Psychology (Gurugram University), PGDGC (Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi) — conducts every session personally, online, from his base in Rohtak. Before your family locks a stream or an expensive coaching lane, one evidence-based conversation checks that the plan matches the student, not just the neighbourhood.
What a session covers for Gurugram students
- Stream selection after Class 10 — decided on the student's tested interests and aptitude, not on which choice sounds most impressive at a family gathering.
- The target-exam & course question after Class 12 — JEE, NEET, CLAT, CUET, design, liberal arts, study abroad: which genuinely fits this student, with honest backups.
- Course-change and drop-year decisions — calm, structured analysis for students reconsidering mid-way.
- Exam stress and burnout — Gurugram's high-pressure culture produces plenty; Sachin sir handles the emotional and career sides together. See our mental health counselling page.

Book your ₹49 introductory session from Gurugram
45 minutes, 1:1 with Sachin sir over video call (regular ₹499) — both parents welcome to join from home.
Validated psychometric testing — not an expensive DMIT package
Gurugram has no shortage of premium career-counselling packages, and some still push fingerprint-based "DMIT" tests at a steep price. DMIT has no recognition in mainstream psychology and cannot measure interests, aptitude or personality. Lume Live uses only validated frameworks — Holland RIASEC (career interests), VARK (learning style) and a Career Values inventory — each explained in plain language before use. Start free with the 60-second Career Snapshot, or go deeper with the ₹999 Full Clarity Report. The full comparison is in our guide: is DMIT scientific?
Who takes your session
Lume Live is founder-led: every Gurugram enquiry reaches Sachin sir directly — never a franchise partner, never a rotating panel. That is the practical difference between Lume Live and the premium aggregator listings a "career counsellor Gurgaon" search surfaces.
Frequently asked questions — career counselling in Gurugram
Is professional career counselling available in Gurugram?
Yes. Lume Live provides online 1:1 career counselling for Gurugram students and families, conducted personally by Sachin Bajaj — M.Sc Clinical Psychology (Gurugram University), PGDGC (Jamia Millia Islamia) — based in Rohtak. Sessions run over secure video call in Hindi and English, so the whole family can join from home in Gurugram.
How much does career counselling cost in Gurugram?
The first 45-minute session is ₹49 (regular ₹499). A free 60-second Career Snapshot is available with no payment, and the optional ₹999 Full Clarity Report adds a detailed psychometric profile before your session — often far more affordable than the DMIT and franchise packages common in Gurugram.
How is this different from the expensive career-counselling packages in Gurugram?
Gurugram has many franchise and aggregator services, some charging tens of thousands and some using unscientific DMIT fingerprint tests. Lume Live is founder-led — every session is taken personally by a qualified M.Sc Clinical Psychologist, using validated tools, at a fraction of the cost.
Does Lume Live use DMIT fingerprint testing?
No, never. DMIT is not recognised by mainstream psychology and cannot measure interests or aptitude. Lume Live uses validated frameworks — Holland RIASEC for career interests, VARK for learning style, and a Career Values inventory — each explained clearly before use.
Can Gurugram students take counselling for stream selection after Class 10?
Yes — stream selection is the single most common reason families book. A psychometric snapshot plus a guided 1:1 conversation separates the student's genuine interest from result pressure and peer comparison, which runs especially high in Gurugram's competitive schools.
