Mentorship is introduced in our institute with a vision to extend support and guidance to the students studying in the college for the betterment of their academic and professional career and thereby contribute towards nation building. It is very effective system that is aimed to narrow down the gap between the mentee and the mentor and thereby the society in general. The students may come across difficulties during the degree programmes and have to face academic and adjustment challenges. To cope up with such problems and to enable them to excel in academics and profession as per their potential, a Mentor- Mentee programme for the students of the institution has been developed.
We have been providing them tips on studies personal counselling, guidance regarding career choices, to get success in the university examinations. We have also been supporting the mentees in the form of precise content on courses, reviews, college admission process and scholarships etc. The mentorship programme has become very successful in bridging the gap between the teacher and the student. It has become instrumental in blending the harmonious relationship between the learner and his/her family and the institution at large.
Students undergo various problems of stress. Mentoring is required for students to achieve emotional stability and to promote clarity in thinking and decision-making for overall programme. Each teacher is assigned 25-30 students. They meet at regular interval to discuss, clarify and share various problems which may be personal, domestic, academic etc. Evidence of success of the practice includes better results in the examinations, more regular attendance, increased participation in co-curricular activities, better discipline on campus and respectful relationship between teachers and students.
Aims and Objectives
Mentoring Details
Mentees are assigned to the mentors right from the first year of the programme.
A mentor has between 25-35 mentees. The mentors meet the mentees and record the outcome of the meeting. The details about each mentee will be recorded and periodically updated. The mentors identify the students performing exceptionally well in curricular or co-curricular activities and report to the head of the institution/ department. The mentors identify the students whose performance/attendance is below par. The mentors interact with the student and try to find out the cause of the problem or an indifferent behaviour. If required the mentor will involve the parents, head of the department for reforming the student.
