Mentoring

The mentoring programme aims to provide healthy guidelines to students in matters related to their personal, academic, and social life. Mentoring is a partnership between Mentor and Mentee. Mentors are the full-time teachers who help students in their transitory phases and challenging times. It is based on mutual trust and respect. It has been introduced for obtaining a holistic assessment of the learners’ performance and providing inclusive spaces for growth and development.
