Abstract
No two persons are born exactly alike, each differs from each other in natural endowments, one being suited for one occupation and the other for another. All things will be produced in superior quantity and quality and with greater ease, when each man works at a suitable occupation in accordance with natural gifts. In today’s technology driven world, with innumerable options available, students are generally confused on choosing the right suited career. This work design and developed an intelligent based expert career guidance system. The waterfall methodology was used and C# Programming language was used to develop the software while Microsoft access was used to develop the database. This system gives a counselling report using student skills and area of career interest. This system allow users to fill in their personal information, area of career interest, subject and grades. After the successful completion of the required information, the student will receive his/her advice along with a detail explanation stating the reason as to why certain career is better for him/her and why not the other. The opportunities provided by this electronic-medium are immense and many students can make use of this medium to choose a career more appropriate to their skills.
