MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
Don’t find faults, Find remedy.
If you give the best,
You will get the best out of others.

Moreover students come from different geographical and social background who are required to be transformed into a different professional culture. All these factors, neophobia, high expectations from teachers may generate lot of anxiety.
