What is free, and what is paid
Free resources give you information. A paid counselling service applies that information to one person. Both are useful; they are not the same thing.
| Free | Paid, personalised | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Articles, guides, the Knowledge Hub, Q&A, a 15-minute first conversation | An assessment for the person’s stage, a one-to-one counselling session and a plan |
| About whom | Students and parents in general | One specific student or professional |
| Answers | “What are the options?” | “Which options suit this person, and why?” |
| Best for | Research, early exploration, quick questions | A decision that is close and unclear |

Other free help
Other places to look for free guidance
- Your school or college: many have a teacher, counsellor or placement cell who can help with options and timelines.
- Official websites: entrance exam and university websites are the most reliable source for eligibility, dates and fees.
- People already in the field: a short conversation with someone doing the job tells you more than any list of salaries.
- AI tools: useful for exploring and researching careers, but they do not know the student. Treat their answers as a starting point.
Free information is enough for many decisions. When the options are still unclear, or the family cannot agree, personalised counselling is the next step.
