Mentoring

1. 1. St. Thomas Institute for Science and Technology has a strong mentoring system to provide students a sense of security and guidance for academic and personal needs.
2. 2. At the department level, each year has two mentors/faculty advisors who can help the students by discussing the issues (academic and personal) related to them.
3. 3. The assigned faculty advisor pays personal attention and monitors students’ academic progress during institutional hours.
4. 4. Faculty advisors maintain student records with details of parent’s address, contact number, and academic performance including mentoring reports.
5. 5. In every semester, faculty advisors conduct at least two mentoring sessions and update the mentoring record, which is reviewed by the HOD.
6. 6. This helps to closely monitor students’ progress in terms of attendance, punctuality, academic performance, and learning capabilities.
7. 7. It helps identify, beyond curricular requirements, the student’s behavioral patterns, use of facilities, and development of personal attributes.
8. 8. Mr. Robin Thomas B.D, youth chaplain, is appointed by the college to guide and counsel students facing personal issues that mentors may not be equipped to handle.
