Counseling is the process of discussing and working through personal issues with a trained professional. The counselor assists you in developing good solutions to your difficulties by assisting you in clarifying issues, exploring possibilities, developing strategies, and increasing self-awareness.

While dealing with worry and stress, the Student Counselling Cell tries to help students become self-aware and reach their full potential. Students can share their academic and social concerns in a cheerful and comfortable setting provided by the counseling cell.

• Be self-assured and meticulous in your preparation.
• Divide the syllabus into manageable sections.
• Don't jeopardise your mental and physical well-being. Aside from exam preparation, always take ample pauses and arrange physical and mental workouts.
• Make no comparisons to other students. Your journey is unique to you, and you should focus on improving your scores rather than comparing yourself to others.
• Don't be discouraged if your mock tests don't go smoothly. Recognise your errors and try again.
