Some features of a career may appeal to students, but they may be unaware of the complexities that come with it. The study consists of 400 numbers of higher secondary science students of Western Odisha. A close- ended questionnaire was developed to examine the demographic variables. Both primary and secondary data were collected in offline and online modes. By using MS Excel and IBM SPSS Data were analyzed. As the study was conducted in Western Odisha and demographic variables like environment and opportunities were taken together, this study represents the originality of the research work.
