Abstract—Career guidance is still a problem for school students who are prone to making uninformed decisions when it comes to academic achievement, peer pressure, or ignorance of self. Traditional guidance systems cannot provide interactive, individualized, and psychologically appropriate guidance. These systems are rigid and noninteractive, especially for school students at the beginning of career planning. Career guidance system is a web-based career guidance system that uses psychometric analysis, personal trait mapping, and theory of multiple intelligences to propose occupations depending on individual strengths. Unlike AIbased predictions, this system is premised on the use of logicbased recommendation models that allow learners to discover their own strengths and make their own decisions. The site begins to assess students using a psychometric test that determines students' strongest personal characteristics—Helper, Leader, Creator, Doer, or Innovator. Depending on these traits, users are provided with their initial list of suggested careers. They are subsequently invited to take a multiple intelligence test in nine areas such as Logical-Mathematical, Linguistic, Visual-Spatial, and Interpersonal intelligences. They are scored out of 5 in each of the categories with a manual override facility to correct scores. It then selects careers that match their top 3 intelligence categories and provides a filtered list of suggestions. Each career recommendation is succeeded by a formalized career map with education requirements, needed skills, growth path, compensation range, and occupation title. The solution is based on the common web development technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap) and deployed for cross-mobile and desktop-device support. User interface is deliberately interactive and student-centered, supplemented by interactive test-taking and results visualization.

I. INTRODUCTION A. Significance of Career Guidance to Students They require guidance for their career in the way that it leads students to suitable strengths, interests, and ambitions with achievable and lasting professions. Owing to a lack of knowledge of their own strengths and capabilities, most of the secondary-level students make career choices based on marks, friends, or parents. In India's highly competitive educational environment, students are commonly streamed into predetermined streams like Science, Commerce, or Arts with little or no experience of options. The Career Guidance System fills this gap with a planned, psychology-driven process of discovery. Relying on web-based tests, personal reports, and crisply drawn blueprints, it turns career planning into an empowering, informed process. B. Limitations of Traditional Career Guidance Approaches Traditional school career counseling focuses largely on academic performance and general ability tests, overlooking fundamental factors like learning style, personality, and creativity. The advice is often generic, stagnant, and fails to engage students as active participants in their own careers. With many schools having limited full-time counselors, especially rural and under-funded schools, students are given narrow, one-size-fits-all guidance.
