Guidelines regarding Mentoring and Professional

Development

The objective of mentoring will be development of:

• Overall Personality
• Aptitude (Technical and General)
• General Awareness (Current Affairs and GK)
• Communication Skills
• Presentation Skills

The course shall be split in two sections i.e. outdoor activities and class activities.
For achieving the above, suggestive list of activities to be conducted are:

Part – A
(Class Activities)

1. Expert and video lectures

2. Aptitude Test
3. Group Discussion
4. Quiz (General/Technical)
5. Presentations by the students
6. Team building Exercises

Part – B
(Outdoor Activities)

1. Sports/NSS/NCC
2. Society Activities of various students chapter i.e. ISTE, SCIE, SAE, CSI,
Cultural Club, etc.

Evaluation shall be based on rubrics for Part – A & B

Mentors/Faculty incharges shall maintain proper record student wise of each activity
conducted and the same shall be submitted to the department.
