Career Aspirations Of Commerce Students In India

Abstract

In India there is an intricate pattern of individual agency, social context, educational opportunity and labour-market signalling that influence career aspirations of studies in commerce. Although it has been observed that the subjective goal of completing education in commerce as a career frequently takes the form of finding a job in accounting, the banking system, finance, taxation, management, or entrepreneurship, the increased diversity of student aspirations clarifies has emerged as a sign of increasingly different prospects (digital finance, analytics, fintech, and platform-enabled labour) alongside enduring limits (skill-selection, inequality of access to internship, gendered demands, and spatial variations of the labour-market). Based on the Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) and related views like the Theory of Planned Behavior and career construction, the selected paper will analyse how career aspirations of undergraduate business students in India are determined by (a) self-efficacy and outcome expectations, (b) parental attachment/support, (c) perceived employability and skill preparedness, and (d) perceived labour-market opportunity and risk. It is suggested to use a cross-sectional survey design and validated tools, as well as, contextual measures that are consistent with the policy area of higher education and employment in India (e.g., NEP 2020; National Credit Framework). In order to display APA-style reporting, the Results-part offers a descriptive analysis template (with explicitly mentioned exemplary values) with descriptive patterns of career preferences and descriptive-regression-based predictors of aspiration clarity. The paper will end with implications on curriculum design, career guidance and work-integrated learning which can be used to enhance the career readiness and aspiration-opportunity fit among commerce students in India. A drawback of relying on previous studies is that the researcher cannot completely disregard the contexts of the experimental situations.The downside of the previously-researched is that the researcher cannot dismiss the contexts of the experimental circumstances fully.
