Our approach
One plan for each student
Global Careers is a career counselling and study abroad consultancy in Surat, founded in 2000 by Dr. Manish Mittal. Families come to us wanting two things for their child: a top university and a great career.
Students today are ambitious and in a hurry, and many are unsure where to aim. Parents are anxious, and they have reason to be: the world is less predictable than it was, and every reel, ranking and advertisement gives a different answer. What a family needs is someone who knows the field, has done this for years and will speak plainly.

What makes our career counselling different
Built by the counsellor
The Career Fit assessment was developed by Dr. Manish Mittal. He holds a PhD in Psychology (Career Counselling) and is a certified practitioner of the MBTI®, the Strong Interest Inventory® and Multiple Intelligences.
Three measures, not one
Interests, aptitude and work style are assessed together, so that a recommendation does not rest on a single score.
Verified in person
Dr. Mittal and his team go through the results with the student. This reduces response bias, the tendency to answer a test the way one thinks one should.
Written by a person
He writes every report himself. No part of it is generated by software or AI, so each report is specific to the student.
Tested in real life
Counselling starts a conversation. The findings are then tried out through projects, courses and activities, and reviewed before a stream or a course is chosen.
With the student for the long term
The guidance continues through the decisions that follow: subjects, course, college and country, at school and again at the Master’s stage.

Questions parents and students ask us
Global Careers is a career counselling and study abroad consultancy in Surat, founded in 2000. We work with school students, college students and graduates. We offer career counselling, profile building, guidance on admission to universities in India, study abroad consulting from undergraduate to PhD level, and coaching for the SAT, GRE and IELTS.
Grade 9 is ideal, and Grade 10 is still in time. Students in IGCSE and ICSE schools often need guidance at the end of Grade 8, and IB students before they choose their Diploma subjects. Career counselling is not a one-day event: it starts a process of exploration that needs time before a stream or a course is chosen.
Our only office is at S-8, 3rd Floor, Central Plaza, opposite St. Thomas School, New Citylight, Surat 395007, Gujarat. Students outside Surat work with us online.
