While growing up, kids are often confused in selecting the right career for themselves and end up following the mainstream options such as a doctor, engineer or charted accountant.
To overcome this issue, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Gandhinagar has planned to host an online camp, 'Camp Inspire 2022', for school students in classes 8 to 12 to guide them in finding the right career for themselves and enlightening them on how they can follow their passion. The camp will be attended by the teachers and parents of the children.
