Guidance Needs of College Students in Mizoram

Abstract

Guidance is required at every stage of one’s life.  It becomes more important for students especially when they are transitioning from school to college. Hence, the present study is an attempt to analyze the guidance needs of College Students studying in Mizoram. The descriptive research design was adopted for this study. Using the cluster sampling technique 135 government college students were selected. This study also strives to investigate if the guidance needs vary based on the gender of the students and the locality they belong to. The collected data were analyzed using the adapted standardized tool ‘Guidance Needs Inventory’ by Dr. J. S. Grewal (2010).  The analysis of the data reveals that the students vary in terms of their guidance needs, however the difference among them is not statistically significant.
