2.3.3 ROLE OF MENTOR MENTEE POLICY FOR STUDENTS (AN IQAC INITIATIVE)

In a college setting, the concept of a mentor and mentee relationship typically involves an experienced individual (mentor) guiding and supporting a less experienced individual (mentee) in their personal and academic development. In LPCPS, the mentor is the faculty member who has already navigated through the college experience successfully. The mentor-mentee relationship is voluntary and aims to provide guidance, encouragement, and resources to the mentee.

Here are some key aspects that LPCPS focuses in the mentor-mentee relationship for our students:

1. Academic Support: Mentors offer guidance on study strategies, time management, and help the mentee navigate academic challenges. They provide tips on effective note-taking, and exam preparation.

2. Career Guidance: Mentors help mentees explore potential career paths and offer insights into different industries or professions. They provide advice on internships, job search strategies, resume building, and interview preparation. Mentors also share their own experiences and networks to connect mentees with relevant opportunities.

3. Personal Development: Mentors assist mentees in developing skills such as communication, leadership, and networking. They provide guidance on setting personal goals, managing stress, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Mentors also help mentees build confidence and develop a sense of self-awareness.

4. Networking and Connections: Mentors introduce mentees to professional networks, alumni groups, or other individuals who can offer valuable insights and opportunities. They facilitate introductions, provide recommendations, or guide mentees in building their own networks.

5. Emotional Support: Mentors act as a source of emotional support, providing a safe and confidential space for mentees to discuss their concerns, challenges, and personal issues. Mentors offer encouragement, empathy, and help mentees develop resilience in the face of difficulties.

The mentor-mentee relationship is typically structured with regular meetings or check-ins, but the exact nature and frequency of interactions can vary based on the preferences of both parties. The ultimate goal is to foster a positive and mutually beneficial relationship that supports the mentee's growth and success during their college journey.

 

The college management plays a pivotal role in the quality assurance in the teaching-learning process and motivates teachers to adopt new tools and technology as a teaching aid in this modern era. The management encourages and provides the facilities for the teachers and the students so that teachers may use ICT methods and tools for innovative teaching learning process to make it more effective and tech- savvy.

The academic committee helps in framing an action plan for the academic year by interacting with IQAC, faculty members, administration, laboratory staff and students.

The college encourages its faculty members to impart quality education through use of ICT tools.

Faculty members are highly devoted and committed towards the use of ICT tools viz projectors, smart boards, power point presentation. Students are also encouraged by faculty members for their active participation in presentation and other activities through the use of ICT tools and application.

The college has ERP to improve the teaching-learning process. ERP software supports and enables teaching learning process in efficient and effective manner as teachers can share their lecture note, assignments, examination and other academic feature.
