STUDENT COUNSELING
It is recognized that a variety of different personal, emotional or relationship issues may affect your life as a student. Should you have an academic problem the first step is to approach the Student Advisor concerned, then the course tutor, and the Course Coordinators. If the problem persists then approach the Head of Department and if required matter may be referred to the building authority and finally, the Dean of Faculty.
While the Student Advisor should be the first focal point of contact for any other type of problem, other members of staff also have particular skills in many areas, which may assist in resolving difficulties. If you find yourself in a dilemma, no matter what, you should contact the Director of Student Welfare/Co-curriculum Activities (Phone No. 01732175764), who may be able to resolve the matter, or who may refer you to another member of staff. The opportunity to discuss a situation with someone who is not involved, in a non-judgmental manner, in a completely confidential environment, may well be a major step in resolving it. Under no circumstances, an outsider may be brought for resolving the problems. If any outsider is brought in the campus for resolving the problems s/he will be punished as per university rule. It is strictly prohibited to bring the outsider into the campus.
