Services of Career Development Centre
Career Development is a process that spans throughout the students’ educational journey of self-assessment, Majors and career exploration, making life changing decisions and implementing it. Career Development of students, long term engagement with the Industry and Placements of students for internships and final jobs is an important process at Ahmedabad University.
The Centre helps the students in taking informed decisions about determining their Majors and careers, and guides them to have a clear goal by providing guidance and assistance in reaching it.
Career Counselling, Guidance and Planning
A structured career guidance and counselling programme develops a student’s competencies in self knowledge, educational and occupational exploration and career planning. It helps students acquire the knowledge, skills and experience necessary to identify options, explore alternatives and succeed in society.
Career Development Process:
Psychometric Assessment and Testing
Through Psychometric Tests which include Personality, Aptitude and Career Tests the Centre helps students identify their skills and competencies. Based on the results, the students prepare their Individual Development Plan (IDP). This, in turn, is used to help students work on their areas of development through faculty mentor.

Throughout the year CDC hosts many workshops and industry sessions and guest lectures.
The Workshops are aimed at developing the confidence and etiquettes of students to prepare them to be successful in the highly competitive professional world.
