IQAC - CHARUSAT

 CHARUSAT, through student counselling system, aims to foster academic
excellence, positive mental attitude and general well-being of the students. The
student counselling system is a proactive and potential-building activity that identifies
the factual potential of the students and brings it out, so as to facilitate students to set
and achieve their academic and personal goals. The system comprises of counsellors,
primarily the teachers, the students themselves and the professional counselor at the
University level.
 As soon as a student gets enrolled and begins his/her sessions, he/she is assigned to a
particular teacher counsellor. It is the teacher counsellor’s utmost responsibility to
ensure that the new incumbent is comfortable in the new environment and gets
acclimatized. The illustrative model could be through building a rapport with the
students by way of different activities, games and informal interactions carried out to
help build strong teacher-student relationship. The counsellors keep continuous
observation of the academic performance, relation with the peers, behavior patterns
and psychological conditions of their counselees, so as to be able to track any
irregularity at an early stage and suggest corrective actions. For this, the counsellors
conduct meetings, once in a fortnight, with their counselees.
 The counsellors also keep track of the progression of the students during internship,
training and project work at other organizations by consulting them.
 Academically weaker students are encouraged to take up remedial classes and
practice assignments separately planned by respective course coordinators as a part of
extending opportunities of improvement in academic performance.
 In addition, individual department/institute also encourages and trains the students to
participate in the competitive exams like GATE, GPAT, TOFEL, IELTS, NIPER JEE,
NET, SLAT etc. Efforts are also being made to track the progression of passed out
students through alumni associations. For some final year/passed-out students who
obtain recommendation letters for applying for higher studies to other
universities/institutes within or outside India, the online recommendation system
partially helps in tracking their progression.
 Students’ outstanding performances in other extra- and co-curricular activities are
tracked and recorded by respective activity coordinators across the institutes and are
acknowledged during the annual day celebrations followed by inclusion in annual
reports.
