Abstract : The prime objective of students perusing professional courses is to get a suitable job. To achieve this, it is very
important to help the students form realistic job expectations. Too high expectations would mean they remain dissatisfied
with the options that are presented to them, or actually match their capability. Too low expectations would prevent them
from pushing themselves to work harder to get a job which they could excel at. Often students blindly follow the ongoing
career ‘trends’, little realizing they may not really be suited for the job. Unrealistic expectations from the jobs also ensure
that the students become disgruntled employees even before they join the organization, leading to high levels of employee
attrition. This paper looks at some of the ways that can be adopted by all the stake holders – the institutions, the employers,
the guardians and the student themselves, to enable to make informed decisions when the time comes for them to choose a
career.
