Career Assessment for Class 8, 9 & 10 – MyLaunchpad
Class 8, 9 & 10 · Stream Selection

The choice you make now
shapes the next 10 years.

Science, Commerce, or Arts — most students pick based on peer pressure, parental expectations, or gut feel. Our assessment replaces guesswork with a data-backed answer grounded in who you actually are.

⚠️

Why Class 8–10 is the critical window. Stream selection after Class 10 locks in your entrance exam options, college eligibility, and career pathways for years. Getting it right here saves years of costly course-correction later.

Three paths. Very different
destinations.

Each stream opens certain doors and closes others. Most students don't realise this until it's too late. Here's what's actually at stake.

🔬

Science (PCM / PCB)

The most structured path — but also the most demanding. PCM opens engineering, architecture, defence, and tech. PCB leads to medicine, research, biotech, and life sciences. Requires strong logical and analytical aptitude.

Engineering Medicine (MBBS) Research Architecture Data Science Biotechnology Defence
📊

Commerce

The business and finance pathway. Leads to CA, MBA, banking, marketing, entrepreneurship, and economics. Suits students who are analytically inclined but prefer systems and strategy over pure science.

CA / CMA MBA Banking & Finance Marketing Entrepreneurship Economics
🎨

Arts / Humanities

Often underestimated, enormously diverse. Law, journalism, design, psychology, civil services, education, social work — arts is the gateway to India's most impactful and fastest-growing careers. Suits creative, communicative, and socially aware students.

Law (CLAT) Psychology Design (NID/NIFT) Journalism Civil Services Education Social Work
🤔

Not Sure Yet?

That's exactly what this assessment is for. Many students who "feel like Science" turn out to be a much better fit for Commerce or Arts — and vice versa. The 5-dimensional assessment surfaces the real answer without relying on gut feel or outside pressure.

What this assessment
specifically covers for Class 8–10

This isn't a generic assessment. The Class 8–10 version is built around the specific decisions students face at this stage.

🏫

Stream Recommendation

A clear, data-backed recommendation between Science (PCM/PCB), Commerce, and Arts — based on your unique personality, aptitude, and interest profile. Not what your parents want. What fits you.

📚

Subject-Level Suitability

Within your recommended stream, the assessment also identifies which specific subjects suit you best — helping you make smart optional subject choices that align with your career direction.

🗺️

Career Path Shortlist

Analysis across 160+ career paths to identify your top 5–10 most suitable options. Each career is explained with educational requirements, entrance exams, and earning potential in the Indian context.

📋

Execution Roadmap

A concrete, actionable plan from today to Class 12 — what to study, which extracurriculars build your profile, which entrance exams to target, and what skills to develop along the way.

🏛️

College Direction

Guidance on the type of colleges and programs to target in India — IITs, NITs, IIMs, top private universities, or specialised institutes — based on your career direction and academic profile.

👨‍👩‍👧

Parent-Ready Summary

The report includes a parent-friendly section that explains the findings clearly — so families can have an informed conversation, not an argument, about the right path forward.

5 dimensions. Not a quiz.

Most career tests measure one or two things. Ours measures five — because a good career decision needs all five answers.

01
🧩

Personality

How you think, make decisions, and work with others. Based on Big Five and Myers-Briggs frameworks.

02
❤️

Interests

What topics, activities, and environments genuinely engage you — not what you think should interest you.

03
🔥

Career Motivators

What will keep you engaged and fulfilled over a full career — money, impact, creativity, security, or autonomy.

04
📖

Learning Style

Whether you learn best visually, auditorily, through reading, or hands-on experience. Affects stream fit significantly.

05

Abilities & Aptitude

Your natural strengths across verbal, numerical, spatial, and logical domains — separate from academic performance.

Questions about the
Class 8–10 assessment

When exactly should my child take this assessment?+
Ideally in Class 8 or 9 — early enough to have time to act on the guidance. Many families wait until Class 10 results are out, but that leaves very little time to think clearly. Taking it in Class 9 gives you a full year to research options, speak to people in various fields, and make a confident choice.
My child is sure they want Science. Should they still take it?+
Yes — for two reasons. First, the assessment may confirm their choice (which is great — it gives them and the family confidence). Second, even within Science, the assessment will help decide PCM vs PCB, and which specific careers to target. Many students who are "definitely Science" discover they are better suited to Commerce or Arts once they see the data — and that's a valuable discovery to make in Class 9 rather than Class 12.
How long does the assessment take?+
About 45 minutes to complete. It is done online — your child can take it from home, at their own pace, without time pressure. We recommend doing it when they are fresh and unhurried, not late at night or between study sessions.
What if the assessment recommends a stream the parents disagree with?+
This is exactly why the counselling session is so valuable. A counsellor can walk through the report with both student and parents, explain the reasoning, and help the family have an objective conversation. The report includes a parent-friendly summary specifically for this purpose. The goal is alignment, not conflict.
Can I start with the free check and upgrade later?+
Yes — and this is what we recommend for families who are unsure. The free suitability check lets you experience the assessment. When you upgrade to the full report, the system uses the same data — your child never needs to retake the test.
Is the session available online?+
Yes. Both online (video call) and in-person sessions are available. In-person sessions are held at our Bangalore office. Evening and weekend slots are available on request to work around school schedules.
