Jalandhar September 10 (Jaswinder Singh Azad)- Apeejay College of Fine Arts, Jalandhar, has always been at the forefront of introducing students to career opportunities. The Economics Forum of the college organized a Career Counseling Program for all economics students across various streams to help them explore their future career paths.
Dr. Supreet Talwar, Head of the Economics Department, addressed the students and explained how a foundation in economics can open doors to prestigious positions through competitive exams like IAS, IES, ISS, and PCS. She also highlighted career options in data analysis, finance analysis, banking, insurance, education, and research. She further motivated the students to enroll in NPTEL courses to enhance their knowledge and briefed them about the current trends in the stock market.
