Degree vs. skills
A degree unlocks eligibility and promotions; skills win interviews. Most people need one of each — a recognised qualification plus two demonstrable skills.
The frameworks our counsellors use every day — how to choose between a degree and a course, what to study first, and how to keep the cost sane.

Fix the blocking gap first: eligibility, then core skill, then portfolio, then applications. Doing them in parallel usually means finishing none.
Pick a program whose EMI stays under 15% of your monthly income. A cheaper accredited degree you finish beats a premium one you drop.
Write down three job listings you want in two years. Every course, degree and project should map to something in those listings.
Months 0–1: Run the CareerFit assessment, fix your target roles and confirm eligibility.
Months 1–3: Enrol in a recognised program and one focused skill course. Nothing else.
Months 3–9: Ship two portfolio projects tied to your target job listings.
Months 9–15: Start applying while you study. Interviews are practice, not verdicts.
Months 15–24: Finish the degree, negotiate with proof, and reset your next goal.
The assessment takes about three minutes and ends with your CareerFit score, gaps and matched programs.
