Sample report
This is the Parent’s Quick Guide that comes with a Class 11–12 report, for a fictional student, “Meera”. It was produced by the same scoring engine and the same report as a real one, from a set of synthetic answers — so every score and career on it is what that answer pattern actually produces. A real report is built from your own answers.
For the parent or guardian
About Meera’s assessment
Two minutes. What the assessment found, what it recommends, what to do next — and what not to do. The reasons behind all of it are on your child’s copy.
Meera’s profile, in four lines
This is a summary. Every line is explained in full, with the numbers behind it, on your child’s report.
- Strongest interests
- Investigative and Realistic, giving an interest pattern of IRC. The gap between their highest and lowest area is 7, which is enough to use.
- Reasoning
- Verbal reasoning came out at 9 on a nine-point scale. This measures where a skill sits today, after the teaching and practice they have had so far. It is not a ceiling, and it moves with work.
- How they prefer to work
- Most distinctly, outgoing (8) and open to change (8). Neither end of any of these is better than the other, and every career in this report contains people at both ends. What changes is which parts of a week feel easy and which take more out of them.
- What they want from work
- Forced to choose between them, they put Achievement, Independence, Recognition first. These choices predict how long somebody stays content in a job better than almost anything else on this report.
What it recommends, and why
Ranked on four things together: what they enjoy, how their reasoning sits against what each route asks for, how they prefer to work, and what they said matters to them. The full arithmetic behind every percentage is printed on their copy.

A fit percentage is a strong signal about the shape of their answers. It is not a prediction, and the order matters far less than the reasons behind it.
What to do next
In order. None of it needs a counsellor, and none of it costs anything.
- 1Read your child’s copy of this report before you discuss it. It is written for them and contains the reasons behind everything summarised here — the conversation goes much better when you have both read the same thing.
- 2Help them find one person working as a data scientist and arrange a conversation. Not a lecture about the field — a description of an ordinary working Tuesday.
- 3Ask them to build a shortlist of two courses with the entrance exams, the deadlines and the costs written next to each — and a second route in underneath each one.
- 4Check every entrance requirement and fee against the current official admission notification. Ours are indicative and rules change annually.
- 5Be honest about what the family can fund, early. A plan built around real money is far kinder than a plan that breaks in the second year.
- 6Compare at least two options side by side using the comparison table on their report, rather than judging the top one on its own.
What not to do
The part of this report we would most like you to read twice.
- Do not choose a career because it is the one people around you recognise. Popularity is a fact about a job market five years ago, not about your child.
- Do not compare this report with a sibling’s, a cousin’s or a neighbour’s. These scores describe one person against a reference group, and they do not rank children against each other.
- Do not lead with salary. Pay bands here are indicative and vary enormously by employer, and interest is the far better predictor of whether somebody is still doing the work at thirty.
- Do not treat one entrance exam as the whole future. Every career in this report has a second route in, and most people who arrive by the second route are indistinguishable from those who did not.
- Do not present the top match as the answer. It is the strongest of several reasonable options, and the report ranks the rest for exactly that reason.
- Do not override what they said they enjoy. You can require effort; you cannot install an interest, and a career chosen against one rarely survives the third year.
What this costs, realistically
What we have not measured, and what was held back
- · Scores are compared against a starting reference group rather than a finished Indian sample. The shape of the profile is reliable; the exact position of any single score may shift. Every past report is recalculated when the sample grows.
The one thing worth remembering
This report is a decision-support tool, not a prediction of your child’s future. How far they go depends on their interests, their abilities, the effort they put in, the teaching they get, the opportunities that come their way, and a job market that will have changed by the time they enter it. Use this to open the conversation, not to close it.
