IILM follows an intensive mentoring program for all its students. The faculty is actively involved in a personalized mentoring process for both first and second year students. Each faculty is assigned the role of a ―mentor‖ and is expected to counsel, maintain discipline and motivate their mentees (students). The mentoring process works at three levels- personal, academic and for the professional development of the students.

 

The roles and responsibilities of the mentors broadly include:

 

• Ensuring overall integration of the student with the program -academically and psychologically.

• Counseling and motivating the students.

• Managing discipline & conduct related issues of the set of assigned students.

• Counseling the students to ensure adherence to attendance norms and be responsible for their self learning.

• Attendance waivers under exceptional circumstances to be communicated to the programme office.

• Providing students the necessary support, academically and psychologically.Mentoring second year students with special attention on their preparation for the placements. Upon announcement of pre-placement talks and interviews, mentors should make sure they spend time with their mentees in order to enable them to understand themselves better and be better prepared for the interviews.

• Keeping in touch with placement managers to be able to guide your mentees effectively
