College Guidance

The dedicated College Guidance Cell at FBS has a team of counsellors who work together to ensure a smooth school-to-college transition for students. Students begin focused admissions planning from Class IX onwards.

The College Guidance Cell uses the data from career assessment tests conducted in Class VI and IX and individual interactions over four years to plan the admissions support package for the batch and individual students.

The unique five-phase Career Counselling programme from Class III prepares FBS students to begin Class IX with clarity on their higher education goals.
