Counseling, PTM & Mentoring

Student Counselling

SEC ensures a student-friendly ambience. The constitution of the Counseling and Grievance Redressal Cell is a part of our relentless effort to create a conducive atmosphere. This cell, consisting of trained and experienced faculty, deals with non-academic grievances, while mentors sort out academic matters. Grievances can be posted in the suggestion boxes, which are opened every week. In response to suggestions expressed by students, many steps have been taken, among them: installation of ceiling fans in classrooms, provision of lift facility for disabled students, establishment of, Health centre, the centre for women empowerment, computerization of office-work, subsidized canteen.

The Counseling and Grievance Redressal Cells are made up of faculty trained by NIHMANS. They have received training to understand adolescents and their behavior, emotional intelligence, motivation and work-life balance.

Integrating body, mind and soul are very essential for every human life. Counselling becomes vital part of college life to give proper guidance to the so that they learn from their mistakes and mould themselves responsibly at the right time.

A counselling committee formed at our college interacts with students, when they come to know that a student has some problems (be it in academics or personal life). The student is put at ease by interacting with the committee members and a strict counsel is done to solve the problem of the student to the extent possible. Counselling in charge officer spends designated 2 hours every week to interact with students who need moral support, guidance and suggestions to increase their relaxation level in the institution.

Parent Teacher Meeting play a crucial role in enhancing a student’s education. Often dreaded by students, parent teacher meeting is an effective way for parents and teachers to interact and discuss about their ward’s progress. Parents on the other hand can play an active role in their ward’s education and can further encourage and influence their ward to do well in college.

Parent teacher association works as a bridge between parents and teachers where through mutual cooperation both can decide what further steps should be taken so that a ward can get most out of his/her studies. Since colleges are not only meant to teach certain subjects, they also work on improving different set of skills, social and emotional aspects of a student, parents should discuss these points so that a lecturer can help in improving the same.
