INTRODUCTION:<\/b><\/p>\n
Career choice is one of the most important decisions in a student\u2019s life, influencing their future education, profession, and overall lifestyle. With increasing career opportunities, students are exposed to multiple fields such as Medical, Engineering, Commerce, and Arts. Each field offers different academic challenges, job prospects, financial rewards, and personal fulfillment. Understanding students\u2019 career preferences helps educators, career counselors, and policymakers design better guidance programs and academic curricula.<\/p>\n
This study attempts to analyse and compare students\u2019 preferences toward selected career streams\u2014Medical, Engineering, Commerce, and Arts\u2014using primary data collected through a Google Form survey and statistically examined through Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).<\/p>\n

OBJECTIVE:<\/b><\/p>\n
To compare students\u2019 preferences for Medical, Engineering, Commerce, and Arts streams using ANOVA based on survey responses.<\/p>\n
LITERATURE REVIEW:<\/b><\/p>\n
1. Super (1980)<\/b> emphasized that career choice is a developmental process influenced by personal interests, abilities, values, and social environment. He highlighted that students\u2019 preferences evolve over time based on exposure and self-awareness.<\/p>\n
2. Holland (1997)<\/b> proposed that career preference is shaped by personality type and work environment compatibility. His theory suggests that students tend to prefer careers that align with their interests, skills, and personal traits.<\/p>\n

DATA COLLECTION:<\/b><\/p>\n
The study is based on primary data collected through a structured questionnaire using Google Forms. Respondents were asked to rate their preference for selected career streams\u2014Medical, Engineering, Commerce, and Arts\u2014on a 1 to 10 rating scale<\/b>, where 1 indicates very low preference and 10 indicates very high preference.<\/p>\n
A total of 40 students<\/b> participated in the survey. Equal numbers of observations were maintained for each career stream to ensure balanced data, making it suitable for applying Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)<\/b> to compare preference levels across the selected streams.<\/p>\n

The ANOVA results indicate a significant difference in career preferences among Medical, Engineering, Commerce, and Arts. This suggests that certain fields are more preferred than others, likely due to factors such as personal interest, job prospects, societal influence, and perceived career stability.<\/p>\n Overall, the findings highlight the importance of career guidance programs in helping students make informed and suitable career choices.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n REFERENCES:<\/b><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 TITLE: A STUDY ON CAREER PREFERENCE AMONG STUDENTS USING ANNOVA AUTHOR: Vivek Rathod INTRODUCTION: Career choice is one of the most important decisions in a student\u2019s life, influencing their future education, profession, and overall lifestyle.
