Best Practice 01

Mentor-Mentee System (MMS)

Fostering holistic development through personalized guidance.

Objectives of the Practice
The focus of MMS is to provide holistic and multidisciplinary education:
  • Facilitate Academic and Personal Development.
  • Assist students in exploring career paths and professional networks.
  • Nurture students to become globally competent professionals.
The Context
Many students at AVS Engineering College come from rural backgrounds and are First-Generation graduates. Adapting to an English medium technical environment can be challenging. Mentoring provides the essential emotional and instrumental support to bridge this gap, offering a personalized touch to ease their transition into the corporate arena.
The Practice

We maintain a Mentor-Mentee ratio of 1:20. This strong bond allows for a customized approach to handling difficulties.

  • One-to-One Meetings: Scheduled thrice a semester to discuss personal backgrounds and academic progress.
  • Mentoring Handbook: Maintained for every student to track their growth database.
  • Holistic Support: Addressing behavior, health, or family issues, involving parents when needed.
  • Skill Development: Encouraging NPTEL/MOOC courses for technical expertise.
Evidence of Success
  • Students with low school cut-off scores achieved high University ranks and graduated on time.
  • Rural background students have improved English proficiency and secured jobs in reputed firms.
  • Increased self-esteem among students and high satisfaction reported by parents.
