How people ask for it

5 examples written by Taskly from what people search for in India. Real tasks look like these.

  • “Career guidance for a commerce student on CA, BBA or B.Com”

    I need career guidance for commerce students like me: I'm 18, in Class 12 commerce at a CBSE school in Jaipur, with maths. Boards are a few months away and college forms open soon after.

    I like marketing and data more than accounts, but most of my relatives are pushing CA. I can't decide between CA Foundation alongside a B.Com, a BBA, or a B.Com (Hons) with a side course, and I don't know how much the college name matters for each path.

  • “Career guidance after 12th: NEET drop year or a B.Sc?”

    Looking for career guidance after 12th from someone who knows the options beyond MBBS. I'm a PCB student from Lucknow, and my NEET score this year won't get me a government seat.

    My options seem to be a drop year with coaching, a BDS or BAMS seat, or a B.Sc in biotechnology, nursing or allied health and then a master's. My family is open to any of them, but I don't want to lose a year if a drop is unlikely to change much.

  • “Career guidance for a mechanical engineering student in Pune”

    I want career guidance for engineering students in core branches. I'm in third year of mechanical engineering at a private college in Pune, CGPA 7.4, and I need to decide what to focus on in my final year.

    I keep going back and forth between three options: prepare for GATE and an M.Tech, aim for core companies in automotive or manufacturing, or move to software or data like many of my seniors did. I enjoyed my internship at a small auto-parts supplier, but the core salaries I hear about are low.

  • “Career guidance for a working professional stuck in testing”

    I'm looking for career guidance for working professionals in IT services. I'm 30, with six years in manual testing at a large IT services company in Chennai, and my growth has stalled.

    I've started Selenium with Java but I keep stopping halfway. Friends suggest automation testing, business analysis, or a product support role at a product company or GCC. I earn ₹7.5 lakh and can't take a big pay cut because I support my parents.

  • “Career change after MBBS into consulting or pharma roles”

    I'd like advice on a career change after MBBS from a doctor who moved into healthcare consulting, health-tech or pharma. I finished my internship last year in Hyderabad and have been working as a duty medical officer while I decide about NEET PG.

    I'm not sure clinical practice is for me. I've read about MBA programmes, medical affairs roles, and clinical roles at health-tech startups, but I don't know which ones take doctors without a PG, or what the first salary and growth look like compared to staying clinical.

Good questions

What people ask before they post this in India.

  • 01

    How much does career guidance or career change cost in India?

    Usually ₹500–2,500. Each Tasker names their own price in their offer, so you see the cost before you agree to anything.

  • 02

    What should we share before a career guidance call?

    The student's recent marks and subjects, the courses and colleges you are considering, your budget, and what the student enjoys doing. A list of questions from parents also saves time in the call.

  • 03

    Can a student do CA along with a B.Com or BBA?

    Many students register for CA Foundation and study B.Com in parallel, often through a regular or distance college. CA with a full-time BBA is harder because of the workload, so it depends on the schedule and goals.

  • 04

    What should I share with a career guide after a low NEET score?

    Your NEET score and category, your mock test scores across the year, your weakest subjects, your budget, and the cities where you can study. Be honest about how the last year of preparation felt.

  • 05

    How long does a career guidance session after 12th take?

    Most sessions run 45 to 60 minutes. Ask for a written summary afterwards so you and your family can compare the options calmly before deciding.

  • 06

    What should I prepare before an engineering career guidance call?

    Your CGPA, internship details, the subjects you liked, any coding you have done, and the companies that visit your campus. Bring two or three questions you have not been able to settle with seniors.

  • 07

    How does paying work?

    Posting is free. When you accept an offer you pay the agreed price. Your money is held by Taskly until you confirm the task is done. If you don’t, it’s released three days after your Tasker marks it finished — unless you report a problem.

  • 08

    Who are the Taskers?

    People who have done what you need: worked at the company, passed the exam, made the move. Every Tasker is reviewed and approved by a person before they work.
