Objectives of the Practice
- To create an informal informative association between mentor and mentee.
- To provide better guidance and support to the students’ needs.
- To provide teachers to build the overall personality of the student, who can contribute to nation building activities.
The Context
Considering the feedback received from mentees and their mentors, changes were made to the format wherein questions were more direct. Questions were asked across the six semesters as per their relevance to the students need for that semester or year. An attempt was made to get quantitative data for some questions, which could be used to make more meaningful decisions in future for student community at large.
The Practice
This is the three year of this practice since its inception in 2019-20. Student receives student card by their respective class coordinators . Two formal meetings with individual students or group of 45 students in a year is arranged by the institute wherein the students mention their academic background, interests and their aspirations and goals, family back ground and expectations from the college. In the next semester, another meeting with students is planned to know their experiences, evaluate their performance and ask suggestions for improving college facilities and functioning. The mentor looks at the attendance and performance of individual student and suitable measures are taken. Parents are intimated about their wards performance and separate parent meetings are held in chronic cases to report. Advance learners/good performers are advised to join student counsel and redressed cell, take up projects/internships, while the weak academic performers are instructed to participate in remedial coaching. Students are also encouraged to participate in literary, fine arts, performing arts and sports depending on their interest and talent. Students identified with personal difficulties and low selfesteem are guided to the counselling cell of the college. Depending on the year and semester questions asked reflect the need of students and appropriate response from mentor is expected. Mentor also note the information to certain question in qualitative format for its analysis.
Evidence of Success
This is an ongoing process for the student in his/her three years (six semester) duration in the college. The outcomes of this process can be evaluated both objectively and subjectively. For most students the academic progression has seen an upward trajectory suggesting better performance with every year. Examples of students can be cited wherein the progress has been phenomenal. Students grow in their values and better understanding of the subjects. Quantitative data was useful for some questions and the responses analysed will help students issues to some extent. 6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required Time to undertake this activity is an important factor for both the mentor and mentee to make the best of this process. With fixed meeting schedules every semester this factor is taken care but the number of students in large classes becomes a difficult task for mentor to have a strong hold over the students’ performance per se. To collate quantitative data for questions is also a tedious task for the mentors and better ways to accommodate the same has to be reconsidered.
