In India, students study harder than ever yet most of them feel lost when it comes to choosing a career. They prepare for exams, memorise textbooks, and follow the paths chosen by parents or peers. But ask them “Why are you studying this?” and the answer is usually unclear.
This is what we call blind studying learning without purpose, direction, or clarity.
Why Does Blind Studying Happen?
1. Lack of Career Awareness
Most students don’t know the full range of career options available today. They only hear about engineering, medicine, government jobs, or whatever their family recommends.
2. No Proper Guidance
Schools teach subjects.
But who teaches career direction?
Without mentorship, students guess their way through big decisions.
3. Pressure to Follow Popular Careers
Many students choose paths based on trends, not interests or strengths leading to confusion and frustration.
4. No Exposure to Real Skills
Degrees alone don’t prepare students for real-world jobs. This creates a gap between what they study and what companies expect.
How to Fix Blind Studying
1. Start With Self-Discovery
Students must understand their strengths, interests, and natural abilities before choosing a career path.
2. Seek Career Guidance
A trained counsellor can help students see a clear roadmap toward a future they actually fit into.
3. Learn Skills That Match Your Goals
Digital marketing, UI/UX, coding, communication real skills make you employable.
4. Build Clarity First, Career Next
When students know why they study, everything becomes easier learning, performance, confidence, and results.
