Colleges/ Universities To Set Up Students Counselling System: UGC

Ensuring quality education, the University Grants Commission has asked universities and  colleges to set up 'Students Counselling System'. 

UGC, in a letter dated March 8, 2018, has reminded that all Higher Educational Institutes (HEIs) have to put a 'Students Counselling System' for effective redressal of problems and challenges faced by students, reports NDTV. 

Highlights 

The counselling system is a part of the "Guidelines on Safety of Students on and off Campuses of Higher Educational Institutions" issued by the UGC on April 16, 2015.
It would include trained teacher counsellors who would remain in close touch with the students allotted to them throughout the year.
