Mentor & Mentee Circular

Introduction

Student welfare is one of the primary goals of higher education institutes (HEI). At Barbhag College, the mentoring process ensures a consensual and meaningful relationship between mentors and mentees, fostering their overall development. Faculty members are appointed as advisors to monitor student performance and growth, with an orientation program conducted annually to guide faculty on their mentoring roles.

Mentoring Process

Mentoring is integral to both curricular and co-curricular activities, offering guidance at every stage of student life. Mentees are allocated to faculty in each department, with flexibility to choose mentors if needed. This process helps track academic performance and participation in other activities.

Role of the Mentor

  • Listen actively and patiently in an open environment.
  • Maintain a non-judgmental and objective approach.
  • Build trust with confidentiality and empathy.
  • Help mentees identify personal and career goals.
  • Guide students to utilize available resources effectively.
  • Refer students to professional counselors when needed.
  • Motivate and inspire mentees to achieve their goals.

Role of the Mentee

  • Reach out to the mentor when needed.
  • Communicate problems effectively and honestly.
  • Actively participate in the mentoring process.
  • Work towards mutually set goals with sincerity.
  • Improve interpersonal skills through the process.

Expected Outcomes

Mentoring pairs students with faculty for the academic year, allowing scheduled one-to-one meetings to discuss goals and concerns. All records are documented in a mentoring booklet, and parents are informed about progress as necessary. This process fosters academic excellence, personal growth, and self-esteem in students.

Challenges

Time constraints and high student-to-teacher ratios are key challenges. These are addressed by scheduling regular meetings and optimizing allocations. Consistent communication through mentoring ensures overall development and excellence in students.
