Students & parents
“I always thought I had to choose between Science and Commerce. My scientific Career Assessment helped me know my real strengths. I’m actually built for Design & Creativity. For the first time, I feel confident about my career direction.”
“We were confused with too many career options for our daughter. Global Career Labs helped us understand her natural strengths and guided us to careers where she will excel — not just survive.”
“I was jumping from one idea to another — MBA, HR, Marketing — without any clarity. The 5-step decision framework helped me identify my core strengths and select a career path for the next 20 years.”
Working professionals
“After 15+ years in IT, I felt stuck and irrelevant. Global Career Labs helped me pivot towards Product Strategy by aligning my experience, strengths, and future goals. I feel excited about my career again.”
“I had a job but no direction. The career counselling process gave me clarity on three solid career routes — corporate, certification pathway, and side career. Now I’m following a focused roadmap.”
“After more than a decade in HR, I felt my career had plateaued. Global Career Labs helped me identify a path into HR Analytics — something that fits my strengths perfectly.”

Classes 8–12 usually start with Career Compass or Career Pathfinder; college students, graduates and PG — Career Pathfinder Advanced; working professionals — Career Health Index or a Career Navigator version matched to their years of experience.

A detailed, personalised strengths-and-fit report and clear recommendations — streams / courses / careers for students, and for professionals at various career stages: best-fit roles, career paths ahead, career-pivot feasibility, a skill roadmap, an IDP and more. Most plans also include a free 30-minute counselling call; the 1:1 plans give a full live video session with a senior career strategist.
Once you complete the assessment, your report is prepared and shared — typically within 1–3 working days. Counselling calls are scheduled at a time that suits you.

GCL’s network of experienced career strategists. Every assessment is reviewed and every session delivered by a qualified professional.
Fees once paid are non-refundable, as each plan involves a personalised report and counsellor time. If you’re unsure which plan fits, talk to us first on WhatsApp — we’ll help you choose before you pay.
Fees in India vary widely, from free school or college sessions to several thousand rupees for professional assessments and one-to-one counselling. At GCL, solutions range from ₹2,000 to ₹11,000 depending on your stage and depth — most include a free 30-minute counselling call, and the live 1:1 sessions include a full assessment and report.
It is worth it when you face a real decision — a stream, a course, a job switch or a return to work — and want objective, evidence-based guidance rather than opinions. Before paying, check what you will actually receive: a validated assessment, a written report, time with a qualified counsellor and a clear plan. If it is only a generic report, it may not be worth it.
If you are unsure which direction suits you — which stream, course, role or field — start with career counselling, which uses assessments and guidance to find the right fit. If you already know your goal and need help reaching it, coaching fits better. Most GCL solutions are counselling-led, built around an assessment and a session with a counsellor.
At GCL, you complete the assessment online at your own pace, your personalised report is typically ready within 1–3 working days, and the counselling call or 1:1 session is scheduled at a time that suits you — a 30-minute call with most plans, or a 60-minute live session with the 1:1 solutions. Bigger decisions may need a follow-up conversation.
You can start with your school or college counsellor and the Government’s National Career Service portal. At GCL, talking to a Career Advisor is free — on WhatsApp or a call-back — to help you choose the right solution, and most paid plans include a free 30-minute counselling call. In-depth assessment and 1:1 counselling are paid.
