Best Practice –II
2. Title of the Practice
Academic and Personal Mentoring
Mentoring is a personal as well as a professional relationship between the Mentor and the
students. The Institution ensures student-centric environment through mentoring. Mentoring is
a process for the informal transmission of knowledge, social capital and the psychosocial
support perceived by the recipient as relevant to work, career, or professional development;
mentoring entails informal communication, usually face-to-face and during a sustained period
of time, between a person who is perceived to have greater relevant knowledge, wisdom, or
experience (the mentor) and a person who is perceived to have less knowledge and wisdom.
Mentoring enables to know about the student in a 360 degree perspective having a personal
touch and care enables to upgrade the students in not only academic and extra-curricular
activities but also in personal life. Mentoring enables to propel the students towards
excellence at all levels.
2.Objective of the practice
Objectives
1. To provide conducive enjoyable teaching learning atmosphere.
2. To ensure that every student feel free to expose their views and talents.
3. To solve the grievances among the students in academics and personal issues.
Intended Outcome
1. A positive change in the students attitude towards curricular, co-curricular and extra-
curricular initiatives
2. Improvement in the personality, soft skill etc leading to holistic development
3. Develop a lifelong bonding between the student, faculty and institution at large
Underlying principles / Concepts of this practice
Learning can happen only in an enjoyable fear free atmosphere. In a class room, the
teacher and the student have a defined time line and content to cover. Personal
attention and individual customized care cannot be provided to one student. Mentoring
system allows the student and the ward to spent time together and learn about the
uniqueness and issues. Thereby the chances of providing personal guidance and
motivation is higher.
Revised Guidelines of IQAC and submission of AQAR
3.The Context
Today ‘s technology driven world provide a number of distractions and avenues
detrimental to the development of youngsters. Right guidance and counselling provided
at the right time could enable them to restore the focus and set the priorities. It is in this
context, mentoring enables to have a personal touch and forum for the faculty and ward
to deliberate on the issues be it be academic or personal and arrive at a solution.
4.Practice
It is mandatory to give counselling thrice. In case of necessity, counselling will be given
anytime. Mentoring is done as per the scheduled time, as it is always required in
teaching-learning processes.
Mentor allocation is done for the first year students. Mentor : Mentee ratio is 1:19. Same
mentor is allocated for the students till the course completion.
Constraints and Limitations
5.Evidence of Success
Academic: Success is seen among the students as they enthusiastically participate and win in
technical sessions like quiz competitions, paper presentation and poster presentation etc...,
Extra-curricular: participating and winning in inter and intra collegiate competitions.
Sports: Our college has students of participants in indoor and outdoor games at college level,
University level, district level, state level and national level.
6.Problems encountered and Resources required
Faculty should be trained in personal interaction with students & in understanding the
student’s psychology.
