Student Counseling

Counseling offers guidance and support to the students at every stage of their college life and helps them to explore, clarify and understand any problems or concern that are affecting them. Counseling, guidance and support to the students helps them in career planning and also guides them how they can build a profile of relevant skills and qualities, both academic and non-academic activities. It also helps them in planning for short and long-term goals and for job opportunities.

Our counselors offer confidential support, advice and counseling to all students, including specialist assistance where required. The Department also deals with crisis situations, should they arise, and with long term issues, including personal, relationship and financial difficulties.

Counseling aims to help the students to take responsibility for their own decisions, to become more aware of their personal resources and to become more able to cope with all aspects in life. The student counselors will be pleased to discuss any problems you have in conditions of complete confidentiality.
