The major aim of this study was to explore college student's experiences of career counselling in Rawalpindi city in Pakistan. The objective was also to investigate the effects of career counselling on the career choices of students in the context of Pakistan. The study was conducted by using quantitative research design. Through simple random sampling technique 74 students were selected from private and government colleges of Rawalpindi city. The main instrument used for data collection was questionnaire. The findings illustrate that professional career counselling services were not readily available to the students at college level. Students had to rely on alternative sources including teachers, friends, and family for making decisions regarding career selection. Consequently, Students remained unaware about potential career options. In the light of the findings it is recommended that career counselling should be made available at college level for the larger benefit of college students in the country.
