Why this conversation matters

Space to explore. Support to choose.

Choosing subjects or a course can feel like a lot to carry. Research gives us a reason to make room for thoughtful guidance, student ownership and a personal conversation.

10.4%

of surveyed Class 9–12 students reported receiving professional career counselling.

Students deserve a place to ask questions before making important choices.

About this data

Source: Shiksha parent-support poll, 2025

Who took part: Student respondents to an online poll reported on 16 June 2025

What it covers: A voluntary online poll, not a nationally representative estimate. The article text does not specify its sample size.

Shiksha career-planning preferences poll · 2025
About this data

Source: Shiksha career-planning preferences poll, 2025

Who took part: Student respondents to an online poll reported on 30 June 2025

What it covers: This measures a preferred format, not results from counselling or MyFire. The article text does not specify its sample size.

These findings describe access, student choice and preferred support. They are not MyFire customer results or evidence that its report predicts career fit. Each study has a different sample; the percentages should not be added together.

What this means for your family

Turn the evidence into a useful conversation.

Ask what your child wants to understand, which options deserve a closer look and what information would make the next decision easier. A helpful starting point can be comparing two subject combinations, reading a course syllabus or talking to someone doing the work.

What does this tell us about MyFire?

These external studies were not evaluations of MyFire. We have not published a measured customer success rate or a study showing that the report predicts academic or career outcomes. Our sample shows the format and suggestions you can expect to discuss; it is a fictional example, not a customer testimonial.

Before choosing a report or guided conversation, read how the report is prepared and what it cannot tell you, view the complete sample and ask about pricing.

How do we use sources?

We link to the original report or the organisation that ran the poll. We explain who took part and whether the figures come from a voluntary online poll or a broader survey. A preference for counselling is not evidence of its results. Our practical suggestions are kept separate from the research findings.

If a source changes or you spot a correction, tell us which claim needs attention.
