Student feedback for Soumyo

The most important thing in a counselling done by Mr Dutta Gupta was that he made me feel comfortable and relaxed in the conversation so that I could share my concerns, anxieties and thoughts very openly. This led to a very fruitful career conversation. He lucidly explained the results of the test. Overall, it was an excellent counselling session.

The psychometric test helped me select my major as it showed me my interest . Earlier when I was fresh out of 10th grade , I was really confused about what to pursue. This test showed my areas of strength and helped me select and participate in activities like writing, MUNs and community service which were aligned to these areas.

The career counseling test given to me at the start of my journey helped me analyze my strong and weak points. While we made efforts to work on the weak areas, we also made sure that I was also focusing on my strengths. The analysis was entirely accurate and depicted my interests at that time. Based on my interest profile, which was investigative, conventional, and social, we devised a plan to use these strengths for my applications. I was given some course suggestions, social work suggestions, etc which proved really helpful in the long run.

Parent feedback for Soumyo

Mr Duttagupta firstly asked us questions as to what we expected out of the test and several other open-ended questions. This set the stage for a very good conversation on the career choices for Ainesh. He also explained the test results very well. He clarified to us that the first or second ranked area as per test result does not mean that Ainesh is not good at other things. He was less prescriptive and a great guide that helped Ainesh choose his subjects planning for a career choice that he has made for himself. We had an excellent counselling session with Mr Duttagupta.

The endless options of career choices can be very overwhelming without mindful and meaningful counsel.
Mr Soumyo Duttagupta, at Dots to Dashes, pointed us to the Strong Interest Inventory Test. He then followed up with gentle guidance, all the while providing our son Sacchit with a safe space to sound out his thoughts.

Thanks to him, Sacchit has been able to identify his core potential with clarity and has decided to apply for design courses.

My son was very confused on the career to choose post his 12th grade. As time was running out I decided to approach Soumyo to help him and guide him. He had a couple of sessions and an online assesment post which he was clear on his chosen subject to pursue. I would recomend this service to any parent whose kids are unclear or confused on what needs to be his or her career path.
