Aanya Iyer

Aanya Iyer presents a strong and well-rounded aptitude profile, with particularly high scores in abstract reasoning (91), verbal ability (89), and numeric reasoning (86). Her RIASEC profile — led by Realistic, Investigative, and Social orientations — points toward careers that blend hands-on problem-solving with analytical depth and human interaction. Career match scores place Software Engineering, AI/ML Engineering, and Dentistry at the top, all clustering around a 70–71% fit, suggesting Aanya has genuine flexibility across technical fields rather than a single obvious path.

Across sessions, data science has emerged as a consistent area of curiosity, and the counsellor framework of interest, aptitude, and market demand was applied to help Aanya evaluate her options ^[1]. Notably, the consolidated career review flagged architecture as a top pathway, described as "consistent across RIASEC, DAT V, and self-report interest," which is worth revisiting even if it sits outside the current match rankings ^[2]. Her spatial score of 83 lends credibility to that architectural interest and should not be dismissed.

A key sticking point remains stream selection between Science and Commerce, a tension that has surfaced in family conversations and deserves early resolution ^[2]. On the assessment side, Aanya's mock CET performance was strong overall — Maths 89, English 94 — though "accuracy on the data interpretation section is the gap," and targeted practice on DI sets has been recommended ^[3]. Addressing this specific gap will strengthen her position across both engineering entrance exams and competitive assessments linked to her civil services interest.

Recommended next step: Confirm Science stream selection with the family, arrange the shadow-day at a partner architecture or tech firm as planned, and begin the six-week data interpretation practice sprint before the next term review.
