I see it as my zimmedari (responsibility) to help, not just the toppers, but everyone who needs real guidance. ### Choosing Your Path After 10th Science, Commerce, or Arts? I know this is a big decision. I run seminars where I break down what each stream actually means for your future - careers, income, lifestyle, and what fits your personality. No forced choices here, just honest talk to help you with stream selection after 10th. ### Engineering or Medical? Don’t Rush If you like both Maths and Biology, you don’t have to pick one right away. I always suggest keeping both options open - appear for NEET UG even if you’re thinking engineering. This way, you don’t close any doors too soon. I’ve seen this work for many students. ### Admission Support, Not Just Exam Prep Getting into IIT or NIT isn’t everything. I make sure every engineering aspirant gets a seat in a top college. For medical, I guide you through NEET UG counseling support and show you all the options, including paramedical course guidance, so you don’t waste a year. ### Real Support, Real Confidence Exams are stressful. I don’t just focus on studies - I also help you deal with anxiety and build confidence, so you’re ready for whatever comes next. My support is also available online for students in Dubai and Sharjah aiming for Indian colleges. ## Highlights Browse through Shelar Academy's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/shelar_academy/admission-counseling-career-guidance/featured) - [Video: Every year, 15 lakh students take the JEE exam, but only a few secure top ranks.
