MENTORSHIP COMMITTEE (Mentor Mentee Scheme)

The Student mentoring system is introduced in the College. All the Teachers are involved in the process of mentoring. Every mentor is allotted with about 20 to 30 students to take care of them depending upon the program and division. Every mentor prepares a list of all the students allotted to him / her with details of Name, Class, Division. The mentor has a chalked-out responsibilities to take care of all the mentees such as to provide them career counseling, to provide them personal counseling, to support them for any kind of difficulty in their curriculum, to make provision of remedial coaching for them and to always support them as and when required.

The mentor also works for finding out hidden talent of the students in various aspects of academic, co – curricular, extra – curricular and extra mural activities so that they can be promoted to do various activities in the concerned area for their holistic development. The mentor also contacts and meets the parents of his / her mentees to discuss their progress and / or any other matter, as and when required.

Objectives of Mentoring

• To monitor academic and overall development of students.

• To identify problems and issues of the students at the earliest.

• To improve the performance of the students both in curricular and extracurricular activities.

• To formulate methods to overcome issues so as to facilitate and maximize the output

• To ensure that the mentors participates in the mentees personal as well as professional development


Mode of conducting sessions:

• This is not a moral values session. There will be no Dos and Don'ts

• This session would go primarily on interactive basis. Out of the deliberation, general opinion on the point under discussion may be drawn, wherever applicable.

• It is expected that all the students will actively and spontaneously take part in the discussion.

• During an Academic year at least one mentoring session must be carried out.


Attendance criteria:

• Attendance criteria remains the same as per the other courses i.e. in principle, a student is expected to attend all the mentor sessions. The attendance should be more than 75% - whatever may be the circumstances.

• If a student is absent in a mentor session, ask him/her the reason for the absence in the next mentor session. If a student is absent in two consecutive mentor sessions, convey it to parents. Tell them that if students are absent, it breaks continuity of the session’s discussions.


Maintaining student Profile:

• Mentors should update the student profile on timely basis.


Maintaining a separate class notebook:

• Students should maintain a dedicated Notebook for mentoring sessions to take notes. At the end of every session, the Mentor may like to give a glance through and sign it.


Remarks:

• Language is not a bar. The students may speak in English, Hindi, or their mother- tongue.

• In discussions, take the students from near too far, that is, from what they know to new things and situations.

• The mentor sessions will take ordinary everyday situations, and not extra-ordinary situations. If we can deal with ordinary situations, hopefully we can deal with extra- ordinary situations as and when they arise..

• When discussing a situation, avoid the discussion on third persons.

• Bring about a shift from physical things to feeling and mental needs.

• Do not be judgmental. Students should feel free to speak their mind frankly, without feeling the pressure of being judged.

• They should feel comfortable and be able to see a bond with you.

• Avoid talking about hostel, mess, department problems in the mentor sessions. Direct students to appropriate authorities to address these issues.
