One academic staff member is appointed as counselor for every 14 students. Counselor keeps close liaison with the students and students regarding their difficulties and problems, if any, throughout the degree programme. Though a student can approach any staff for help, the counselor has a ‘personal touch’ with the student and works as a ‘local guardian’. Therefore students feel more comfortable to express their difficulties with their counselors.
