Student mentoring is an integral part of campus life at SSBS. Each student is assigned a faculty member as a mentor all throughout the two years of their post graduate studies. The function of mentor mentee system is to observe, monitor and suggest inputs for the overall development of students. Students are encouraged to write various competitive examinations such as NET/SET/DBT etc. Initial few months of post graduate studies may be stressful for some students as they find it difficult to adjust to the new environment. In such scenarios, mentors are their best guide for adjusting to the new college life. The mentor mentee sessions are held twice in a month. However, the students are free to interact with faculty members for career advice and personal counselling anytime. Mentoring system has been active at SSBS since the year 2013.
