Mumbai, 8th June 2019

      S.N.D.T College held its first-ever career counseling workshop on 8th June 2019. The event saw counselors coming in from all over Mumbai to guide the students about the best career paths, post their graduation.

      A majority of the college alumni were also present at the event. Many of them narrated their success stories in order to motivate the students. Sonu Sharma, a financial advisor, told the students how his consistent performance made him the youngest manager at his financial firm. Babul avsti, a music composer, narrated the story of her struggle. She had to compose 115 tunes before finally getting selected to compose music for a Bollywood film. With the students being informed on the variety of career opportunities and the alumni achievers sharing their achievements, the event was a huge success.
