Career experts play a significant role in assisting people to evaluate, obtain and infer these changes while helping them in appropriate career selection and planning. The career guidance and counselling is in its initial stages in India and the conventional manual method being employed proves to be inefficient and ineffective. Automation of career guidance and counselling process with the help of intelligent computer-aided solutions have considerable potential and will be of greater importance. Besides, simplifying task and saving effort as well as time, an automated solution has substantial capability to engage and reach, larger diverse group of people. In this paper, contemplation of numerous Artificial Intelligence (AI) based schemes offered in the field of career guidance and counselling has been performed. This paper begins with prominence of career guidance and counselling followed by scrutinizing the scope of various technologies in contributing a solution. Besides, extensive work performed in this field has been critically surveyed. Ultimately, the challenges and open problems were implications from the conducted survey. The paper identifies directions for potential research in this domain, hoping to drive attention of research community.
