A parent's guide to admission counselling

Your role

Students make the final choice of course; parents bring budget, experience and calm. The best outcomes come when both read the same official notice and decide together.

What you can do

• Help gather and organise documents early
• Learn the dates and keep a shared calendar
• Visit or research colleges together
• Agree on a budget ceiling before choice filling
• Never share counselling passwords or OTPs with anyone

Money decisions

• Ask for the total cost of the whole course in writing
• Pay fees only through official channels and keep receipts
• Be cautious of anyone who asks for cash for a "guaranteed" seat

Supporting your child

Counselling can be stressful. Celebrate effort, avoid comparing with other students, and remember that most students have more than one good path.
