About Me :
I am Rahul Jhansla, an experienced Educational Counsellor passionate about helping students find the right academic and career direction.
With a strong educational background from the prestigious Delhi University (DU), I bring both knowledge and practical insights into the counselling process.
Over the years, I have guided hundreds of students in selecting suitable courses, colleges, and career paths that align with their interests and goals. My counselling approach is personalized, student-centric, and based on the latest trends in education and admissions.
I believe that timely and accurate guidance can make a life-changing difference in a student’s journey.
I also engage with parents to ensure a holistic and supportive decision-making environment. From one-on-one sessions to webinars and workshops, I offer various platforms to reach and support students from all backgrounds. My goal is to empower students to move forward with clarity, confidence, and a clear sense of purpose in their educational journey.
