A Level Subject Counselling | KGS Students 2021

In 2021, I created an online student-based subject guidance platform for KGS students, thus filling a gap in the career counselling system. My sister was selecting her A Level subjects at the time. She was beyond confused about what career path to choose, and the lack of institutional guidance at the time didn't help.

Now, I had a problem to solve. My sister was falling behind because she had nowhere to go for help. So, I created an Instagram-based network on my personal meme page (I ran a (polite, funny) meme page for school right before graduating, and all of KGS college section followed me, lol).

Though my meme-making days were behind me, I still had the power of a niche following. So, I created a volunteer-based system where A level kids could one-on-one coach new applicants, helping them pick the right subjects. I had the same trouble when picking my subjects in 2017, and it was pretty ridiculous to see new students (in 2021) facing the same fate. I had to fix it. And so I did.

They say the best inventions were born out of love. I can testify to this. My sister and her batch found it significantly easier to pick their subjects after I created this network. Sadly, I couldn't carry it forward for the next batch - because I was busy working on other things...but would love to revisit it if the opportunity arises.

Student Counselling | AKU MBBS Students

Carrying forward from the A Level subject counselling network, I decided to host an intimate virtual Guidance + QnA session with AKU MBBS students. The session was hosted on Instagram live, which allowed attendees to ask questions and get answers in real time. The two-way communication helped create a comfortable atmosphere where aspiring medical students could interact with current MBBS students from a top university and receive personalized answers.

Additionally, I prepped a set of questions to ask the AKU volunteers beforehand. These comprised of FAQs from A Level students who expressed interest in attending the conference. Collecting questions directly from the attendees pre-show helped ensure their most pressing queries were addressed within the session.
