How to connect though a College counsellor?
Hello Achintya,
Connecting with a college counselor is actually pretty simple! Here's how you can do it:
1. Through Your School or College
If you are currently studying in a school or junior college, ask your class teacher or principal.
Many schools have their own
career counseling department
or they can guide you to someone.
2. Visit the College Campus
If you are applying to a specific college (like NM, HR College, etc.), visit their
admission office
.
They usually have counselors or admission advisors you can meet directly and ask your doubts.
3. Official College Website
Almost every college has a
"Contact Us"
or
"Counseling Services"
section on their website.
You will find email IDs or phone numbers there — you can send them a mail or call to book an appointment.
4. Education Fairs and Seminars
Many colleges participate in
career fairs
,
education expos
, and
seminars
.
If you attend these, you can meet college representatives and counselors in person.
5. Online Counseling Platforms
You can also connect with counselors online through platforms like
Careers360
,
Shiksha
,
CollegeDunia
, etc.
Some colleges even offer
virtual counseling sessions
nowadays.
6. Social Media and Helplines
Some colleges are active on
Instagram
,
LinkedIn
, and
Facebook
.
You can DM them, and they will usually guide you to the right counselor or office.
Important Tip:
When you connect, always be clear about what you want to ask:

Scholarships
It saves both your and their time!
