E. Student Academic Counseling and Support
Arrangements for availability of faculty and teaching staff for individual student
consultations and academic advice :
Availability of the staff will be placed in front of the office in staff schedule as office hours.
Academic advising unit for each year functions separately, it will hold periodic meeting
with the students for feedback.
Students will be informed in advance to assemble themselves in the classroom for
discussions regarding difficulties in learning, attendance, facilities. etc.
Students will be encouraged towards use of internet sources and library for the study and
completion of the assignments
