Each ambassador enlightened the students about opportunities at his/her university in addition to giving them general information about the Dos and Don’ts of getting admission in universities after grade 12.
The session was very interactive as the ambassadors entertained many questions of the students about their carrier options, financial constraints attached with admissions, NTS Test, UG Programs offered at different universities and university preferences.
This volunteerism of these university ambassadors was highly praised by the school management and the students. They later termed it a right event at the very right time as they will be heading for different universities in the coming May/ June Session. They requested the ambassadors to keep updating them regarding the admissions especially at engineering, medical and arts universities.
The ambassador found the students very co-operative, confident, intelligent and concerned about their carriers. They believed carrier counseling is very important to bring forward true nation builders and a right information at the right time can save a future , cause a paradigm shift in student’s lives and help to pave the path for them to meet the carrier, they are naturally crafted to follow.
Milky Way will continue similar efforts through a dedicated team of university ambassadors to guide the students of Gilgit Baltistan and to help them choose the best possible carrier line so that, GB could get few more gems in different fields of life.
