The mentorship programme, initiated in 2014, aims to support students throughout their professional education. Each newly admitted student is assigned a mentor during the orientation to foster a sense of belonging and strengthen ties with the institution. The program focuses on providing solutions to student problems, offering moral and psychological support, and creating a student-friendly environment. Monthly mentor-mentee meetings, performance reviews, and addressing both academic and non-academic concerns are key activities.
