Student’s Counselling

The Counselling Cell was established in 2023 so as to provide a platform to address the psychological/emotional issues of the student community and help resolve them. It functions in the College premises with a team of faculty members. The Counselling Cell encourages the students to understand themselves and the issues that trouble them and guides them to resolve their problems. These problems can be personal, emotional, social, familial, academic, etc. The goal of Counselling is to facilitate positive behaviour changes, improving the student’s ability to establish and maintain relationships socially, promoting their decision-making process, helping the student to understand their own potential and cope effectively with the problems they face.

Objectives:

• To create awareness about issues and problems related to mental health.
• To help resolve emotional and behavioural issues of the student impacting the normal functioning of an individual
• To help them develop better interpersonal relations with the people around.
• Diagnose the learning difficulties of students and help them to overcome the same.
• Conduct seminars for students on mental health and addiction issues.
• Refer the students to professional psychiatrics or counsellors in severe cases.
