Effective Academic Counselling, career advising and mentoring, foster student success. Academic counselling provides students with clear pathways for successful and timely completion of their academic goals. Mentoring leads to successful completion of educational and career goals.

The counsellor probes into the mind of the child; comprehends the intentions of the heart; understands the attitude towards life to perceive the passion for inferring suggestions.

A counsellor helps to solve all the problems by clarifying doubts, enabling one to reap the benefits of innate abilities. The overall aim of Academic Counsellor is not to make parents aware of their child’s strength and weaknesses but provide solutions to maximise the use of their strength and a way to harness their weaknesses. Same applies for adults if they are looking for counselling for self.

The sole purpose of counselling is self-growth, self-resourcefulness, self-confidence and self-satisfaction, self-achievement and social well-being.
