Student Counseling

Introduction

The main aim of this program is to provide counselling to the students of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences to surmount any problems they might face due to their academic, financial or personal circumstances. Professional counselling is provided by trained professionals such as psychological counsellors and psychiatrists made available by the Faculty of Medicine of the University.  Counselling is also accessible at Faculty level by academic members trained in counselling. 

The Student Support Centre will thus be of assistance to the undergraduates of the Faculty if they face any problems in their daily lives.  This assistance will be provided by the student counsellors of the Student Support Centre, either directly or by making arrangements for trained medical help.
