Uttio Putatunda

Uttio Putatunda is a Career Guidance and Student Development Mentor with nearly two decades of experience working closely with students, parents and educational institutions. His work focuses on helping families move from confusion and pressure to clarity and structured direction.

He is a Certified Career Analyst and works with scientifically designed psychometric assessments to understand a student’s aptitude, learning patterns, interests and behavioural tendencies. However, his core approach goes beyond test reports — he helps parents interpret what the results actually mean for real academic decisions such as subject selection, study approach and long-term career pathways.

Over the years, he has guided school students, college learners and early-career individuals in making informed decisions about streams, courses and preparation strategies. His sessions are known for being practical and discussion-oriented rather than advisory lectures. Every recommendation is explained clearly so that both parent and student understand why a particular direction suits them.

His background in business leadership and education allows him to connect academic choices with real-world career outcomes. Instead of giving generic career suggestions, he helps families identify:

• the student’s natural strengths
• the reason behind lack of motivation or inconsistent performance
• suitable academic environments and learning methods
• realistic next steps that can actually be implemented

The counselling session is therefore not a one-time suggestion, but the starting point of a structured roadmap for studies, career planning and personal growth.
