2.3.2 – Students mentoring system available in the institution? Give details. (maximum 500 words)
o Robust mentor-mentee relationship built through student counseling system is an integral part of students’
progression at CHARUSAT. It aims to foster academic excellence, positive mental attitude and general well-
being of the students. The student counseling system is a proactive and potential-building activity that identifies
the factual potential of the students and brings it out, so as to facilitate students to set and achieve their
academic and personal goals. The system comprises of counselors, primarily the teachers, the students
themselves and the professional counselor at the University level. o As soon as a student gets enrolled and
begins his/her sessions, he/she is assigned to a particular teacher counselor. It is the teacher counselor’s
utmost responsibility to ensure that the new incumbent is comfortable in the new environment and gets
acclimatized. The illustrative model could be through building a rapport with the students by way of different
activities, games and informal interactions carried out to help build strong teacher-student relationship. The
counselors keep continuous observation of the academic performance, relation with the peers, behavior patterns
and psychological conditions of their counselees, so as to be able to track any irregularity at an early stage and
suggest corrective actions. For this, the counselors conduct meetings, usually once in a fortnight, with their
counselees. o The counselors also keep track of the progression of the students during internship, training and
project work at other organizations by consulting them. o Academically weaker students are encouraged to take
up remedial classes and practice assignments separately planned by respective course coordinators as a part of
extending opportunities of improvement in academic performance. o In addition, individual department/institute
also encourages and trains the students to participate in the competitive exams like GATE, GPAT, TOFEL,
IELTS, NIPER JEE, NET, SLET etc. Efforts are also being made to track the progression of passed out students
through alumni associations. For some final year/passed-out students who obtain recommendation letters for
applying for higher studies to other universities/institutes within or outside India, the online recommendation
system partially helps in tracking their progression. o Students’ outstanding performances in other extra- and co-
curricular activities are tracked and recorded by respective activity coordinators across the institutes and are
acknowledged during the annual day celebrations followed by inclusion in annual reports. o Counselor teachers
share the academic strengths and weaknesses of the students as well as their observations regarding students’
emotional and psychological status to the parents. In case, a student’s psychological state is realized to be
beyond teachers’ capacity, the student is recommended and facilitated to seek clinical counseling after due
parents’ consent. A dedicated clinical psychotherapist and counselor has been appointed for the same. o
Towards strengthening the counseling skills of the teachers, HRDC, CHARUSAT organizes various FDPs under
the theme ‘Art of Counseling’. o This counseling platform has been effectively utilized to reach out to all the
students of CHARUSAT to ensure their and their family’s well-being during the Covid-19 lockdown.
