Mentorship

Mentorship


BMS Institute of Technology & Management has a very strong mentorship which provides students guidance for academic and personal needs, and a sense of security.

A mentor, a member of the faculty, is entrusted with the responsibility to monitor and ensure students’ academic progress and behavior by paying his/her personal attention.

Management motivates and enables a student to see his mentor as a patriarchal / matriarchal figure and guide. We believes that the interaction with the students is essential to mould them in perspectives.

Records with our mentors contain personal data of each student, parent contact details, academic details and communication details. The information is uploaded to the portal specially designed by the institute. As a result of which, Chief Mentor, Head of the Department, Principal can view details of students at any point of time and offer required support.

Objective of the mentorship is to constantly monitor the progress of students in terms of attendance, punctuality, academic performance, learning capabilities and general behavior. This system also helps to identify and understand students closely about their requirements beyond the curriculum such as habitual deviations, attitudinal aberrations, utilization of facilities and associative growth of personal attributes.

We can provide an early warning with help of our mentors’ feedback on a periodic basis to the students, parents, heads of the departments and course coordinators on classified needs for their intervention.
