A Career Guidance & Future-Readiness Program for Tamil Nadu Government Schools — so that Class 12 is not the end of guidance, but the start of a well-planned career journey. An initiative by CareerWithRaaj · Uniq Career / Uniq Media.
CHAPTER 01
Every student in a Tamil Nadu Government school — regardless of financial background, first-generation status, or geography — grows up with the same career clarity, confidence, and corporate-readiness as any student from a top private school.
CHAPTER 02
Tamil Nadu leads India in college access — yet two gaps remain wide: between passing Class 12 and enrolling in the right course, and between graduating and being job-ready. Vetri Siragu is built to close both.
TN Class 12 Pass % · 2025
Very few students fail the exam. The real gap is what happens after passing — not the exam itself.
Higher Education GER · 2025
TN leads India in college access — but more than half of eligible students still don't reach higher education.
Govt School Students → Higher Education
Rising fast due to state schemes — yet 1 in 4 Government school students still doesn't move from Class 12 to college. This is exactly where Vetri Siragu intervenes.
Class 12 Pass · Govt vs Private
A real, closable gap that structured guidance and skill-building can narrow.
National Graduate Employability · ISR 2026
↑ from 46.2% in 2022
More than 4 in 10 graduates are still not job-ready at graduation. Corporate-readiness cannot start after college — it has to start in school.
Employability by Stream · 2025-26
The stream a student picks after Class 12 has a direct, measurable effect on future employability — reinforcing the need for informed stream selection at Class 9–11.

Psychometric and aptitude assessments via the iDreamCareer partnership, one-on-one counselling, and a personal career roadmap for every student from Class 9 onward.
Sessions on emerging sectors — AI/ML, data, healthcare, green energy, EV, BFSI, government exams, skilled trades — so choices follow where demand is growing.
Communication, group discussion and interview practice, resume building, workplace etiquette, and aptitude training aligned to what recruiters and campus placement cells actually test for.
Structured guidance at the Class 12-to-college transition point — addressing the exact gap where 1 in 4 Government school students currently drops off.
A simple, ongoing record per school: Class 12 pass → college enrollment → placement / higher-study outcome, so schools and the Education Department see real, local numbers instead of state averages.
Work with Government school Heads and the District/Block Education Office for structured, term-wise access to Class 9–12 students.
Deliver the CareerWithRaaj counselling framework and iDreamCareer assessment tools — the same certified methodology used in paid one-on-one counselling.
Trained career counsellors and corporate-readiness trainers visit on a fixed schedule — guidance as a program, not a single seminar.
Local industry, alumni and BGV/HR contacts from Raaj's corporate network run mock interviews, career talks and internship exposure.
Train a teacher in each school to sustain awareness activities between Vetri Siragu visits.
Close the loop from awareness to action with term-wise reports to the school and to parents.
Tambaram Taluk (Tambaram Revenue Division, Chengalpattu District) sits within CareerWithRaaj's operating reach, has a dense cluster of Government Higher Secondary Schools, and lets the model be proven before scaling across Tamil Nadu.
