If a girl in KGBV studies well but has low career confidence what support is correct?

Correct answer: Career mentoring exposure and self efficacy building

The direct answer is A: career mentoring, exposure, and self-efficacy building are needed. Good marks show academic performance, but they do not automatically give a girl confidence to imagine, choose, and pursue a career. Step by step: first recognise her academic strength; then introduce her to different courses, occupations, role models, workplaces, and pathways; provide a mentor who can answer questions and guide planning; let her practise decision-making and small achievable tasks; give realistic encouragement and feedback so she believes she can act successfully. Option A is correct because it joins information about careers with guidance and confidence-building. Option B, only increasing marks, may improve scores but does not answer fear, lack of information, or uncertainty about the future. Option C, reducing hostel time, removes support and opportunities rather than building confidence. Option D, stopping career discussion, leaves the uncertainty untouched and may reduce motivation. Self-efficacy means the belief “I can learn, decide, and take steps,” not a promise that every outcome will be easy. Memory cue: marks show achievement; mentoring and exposure turn achievement into future direction.
