Objectives:
Young adults nowadays are faced with a number of issues related to academics and otherwise during their student life. They are in need of an outlet to express their emotional upheavals. This is where a student counselor comes into picture. We have a regular counselor. The most common issues faced by students are related to time management, stress management, peer pressure, procrastination, body language, communication skills etc. One-to-one counseling sessions with the student counselor helps our students to sort out these issues and unburden themselves of their problems.
