The Mentor-Mentee Program is a crucial element for a successful academic journey and fostering closer connections between faculty and students. Through mentoring, students receive vital support, guidance, and encouragement, enriching their academic experience. Mentors serve as counsellors, helping students stay motivated and excel in their studies. Students can rely on their mentors for assistance with both academic and personal challenges. This program focuses on nurturing student growth and competence while strengthening the bonds between faculty and students.
Mentoring System
The institute has an effective and well-structured mentoring system in place.
Mentor-Mentee Cell - MITS has been a structured initiative since 2016, designed
to support and guide students throughout their academic journey. It promotes a
professional relationship between mentors and mentees, ensuring holistic
development.

• The mentoring system caters to students’ professional, career, personal, and
holistic development.
• Faculty members are acquainted with the institute’s mentoring system
during their induction program through structured orientation sessions, and each
faculty member actively participates in the mentoring process as a mentor at
their concerned department.
• On average, 20 - 25 students are allotted to each faculty member for
mentoring.
• The mentor in-charge convenes a meeting once a month, in addition to
holding regular, unscheduled meetings with student mentees three to four times
per semester.
• Currently, the proctoring system at the institutional level is headed
by Dr. M. Parvathi, Assistant Professor of English, Department of English &
Foreign Languages.
Comprehensive Mentoring System at the Institution
The revised mentoring system, implemented through AviScio :: MITS (172.16.0.222) - an integrated digital platform, has been operational since February 2025 to monitor and document mentoring interactions for all B. Tech., students. From the odd semester of the academic year 2025-26, M. Tech., MBA, and MCA students are being mapped to mentors and engaged through this platform.
The shift to this digital platform marks a significant improvement over the traditional one-page hard copy records and the earlier IMS system. While the hard copy format was limited in scope and difficult to maintain consistently across departments, the IMS could only generate brief summaries- typically two to three lines per mentee offering minimal insight into student progress. These formats lacked the ability to track longitudinal development or support timely interventions. In contrast, the new digital system provides mentors with comprehensive, real-time access to student data, allowing for deeper analysis, personalized mentoring, and better documentation. This ensures transparency, scalability, and a more structured approach to student support.
This system serves as a centralized digital repository, recording key metrics such as academic progress, attendance records, and mentor-mentee engagements. The platform automatically synchronizes real-time academic data: including attendance, academic grades, backlog status, and achievements, into individual student profiles, enabling mentors to analyze performance trends and provide personalized, data-driven guidance.
In the system, mentors play a multifaceted role, focusing not only on academic improvement: through remedial suggestions, time management strategies, and study plans, but also on holistic development. They guide students in career planning aspects such as resume building, internship opportunities, and skill enhancement; personality development skills such as communication skills, emotional intelligence, and ethical values; and behavioral aspects like discipline, punctuality, and peer interactions. Recognizing the importance of parental involvement in the mentoring process, the institution facilitates periodic parent meetings two to three times a semester, either in person or virtually, to discuss their wards’ progress and address concerns collaboratively. Mentors also meet their mentees individually, in person or online, about three to four times a semester, with the minutes of each meeting duly recorded and maintained on the digital platform for documentation and review.
To foster well-rounded growth, the institution promotes student-led initiatives through clubs and committees associating literary, cultural, technical, and sports domains. Regular workshops, guest lectures, and industry interactions further supplement these efforts, ensuring students gain practical exposure alongside theoretical knowledge.
