For Students

YOU SHOULDN'T
HAVE TO FIGURE
THIS OUT ALONE.

93% of Indian schools have zero career counselling. You're being asked to make one of the most consequential decisions of your life — with almost no real information about what those paths actually look like from the inside. Lumire connects you with people who have already walked the path you're considering.

THE MOST
IMPORTANT
DECISION AT
THE WORST
POSSIBLE TIME.

Class 11 stream selection. Board exam pressure. Everyone around you has an opinion. Nobody around you has actually worked in the field you're considering. Lumire changes that.

"I chose science because everyone said it keeps options open. Three years later I realised I'd made the decision for everyone except myself."

The situation Lumire was built to prevent

🔀

Stream Confusion

Science vs Commerce vs Arts — what each one actually leads to, from someone who chose.

🎯

Career Direction

What does a day in that career actually look like? What does it pay? Is it right for you?

🌍

Study Abroad

Is international education worth it for your goals? Which country, which course, at what cost?

Questions your Lumire expert will answer

  • Should I take science if I don't want to do engineering or medicine?
  • What careers actually come from a commerce background?
  • Is a gap year a good idea — and what should I do with it?
  • How do I choose between 10 different entrance exams?

YOUR DEGREE
OPENED
A DOOR.
NOW WHAT?

Placement season is coming. Your friends seem to know what they want. You're not sure. That uncertainty is more common than anyone admits — and it's exactly what a Lumire expert is built to resolve.

PRIYA, 22 · BMS GRADUATE

Three months before placement season. No idea whether to go into marketing, consulting, or pursue an MBA. Every senior she asked gave conflicting advice. Her Lumire expert had made the exact transition she was considering — BMS graduate into a top consulting firm. Two sessions. A clear direction. Placed at her first choice company.

→ Placed at top management consulting firm. First attempt.

03 — UPSC & Government Exam Aspirants

YOUR YEARS OF
PREPARATION
ARE WORTH
FAR MORE
THAN YOU KNOW.

13.4 lakh people appeared for UPSC 2024. 1,056 were selected. For the 13.39 lakh others — the years spent are not wasted. The skills built during UPSC preparation are extraordinary. The problem is that nobody has taught you how to translate them.

In one session, she helped me see my preparation not as a loss but as the most rigorous professional training I could have had. I joined a policy research firm 3 months later."

04 — Family Session · Student + Parent Together
India's First

THE CAREER
DECISION IS A
FAMILY DECISION.

In India, 78% of students say their parents significantly influence their career choice. Yet parents and students are rarely in the same room with the same expert having the same conversation. The result is compromise, tension, and decisions nobody is fully confident about.

The Lumire Family Session changes that. Student and parent join together. One industry expert facilitates an honest conversation — validating aspirations, addressing concerns, providing the data both parties need to decide together.
