Career prediction is an essential aspect for an undergraduate student during his/her academic life.The academic grades obtained for different courses studied by a student are useful to predict the right career(s) for the student.Apart from theoretical subjects, the marks obtained in subjects like Communication, Aptitude, reasoning, etc. are also useful for predicting the appropriate career(s).Moreover, the authors proposed that evaluating the psychological factors viz.logical thinking, intelligence, patience and perseverance, learning ability, etc. of a student is highly essential to predict the most appropriate career(s) for a student.Playing games and solving puzzles are two powerful techniques that are useful to evaluate some of the aforesaid psychological factors.An expert system designed that creates n-coin puzzles for a student and the students' attempts to solve them all.The expert system evaluates the levels of psychological factors viz.logical thinking, patience, and perseverance and learning ability of a student both quantitatively and qualitatively.This system builds a cognitive model of the student.This system maintains a career(s) table wherein each job and the corresponding minimum levels of psychological factors of a student that are needed to perform that job successfully.The system explores and finds suitable jobs for a student basing on his/her cognitive model.
