Choosing the right stream after the 10th or 12th grade is a major step in a student's academic path. However, plenty of students will find decision difficult because they lack proper guidance, are unaware of career options, and do not receive personalized counselling. For solving the trouble, this research introduces My Smart Counselling Support System, a machine-learning–based tool that uses the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm to suggest suitable streams. The system studies students' marks in key subjects and recommends the best-fit stream for 10th- grade students (Science, Commerce, Arts) and 12th-grade students (PCM, PCB, Commerce with Maths Humanities). KNN is chosen because it is simple, easy to understand, and performs well for classification tasks. The results show that the model makes accurate predictions and can be effectively used in schools or online platforms to provide real-time guidance to students.
