These lectures are for the benefit of 10th Grade and above students aspiring for promising careers but do not have a sense of clear direction. 

These Seminars were conducted in over 20 locations across different cities in India.

The AMP - Aurangabad Chapter organised a Career Guidance Seminar for students who have appeared for their 10th boards in 2017-18. The seminar was called "Sitaron Se Aage Jahan Aur Bhi Hain", and was held on 8th April, Sunday, at IMA Hall, Adalat Road.

Promotion:

The event was promoted through an impressive online campaign by the local chapter to effectively connect with the students who had taken 10th board examinations. This included a promotional video that depicted two students discussing the camp with anticipation. Video was thrilling and has captured the dilemma of students on selecting careers.

Registartion:

Students were asked to register online through a Google form. The reason was to provide them with a first-hand experience of online registration at their tender age.

Deputy Inspector General of Police (Retired) from Mumbai, and founder of the first Anti-Terrorist Squad in India, Mr. Aftab Ahmed Khan, spoke on a career in the Civil Services.
