At Andhra University, with a vast community of over 10,000 students and a dedicated faculty of more than 500 members spanning 58 departments, mentoring is integral to our commitment to individualized growth and success.

Key Aspects:
• Mentor's Role: Our mentors, who act as facilitators, guide students through the learning and developmental journey.
• Not Advice, but Assistance: Mentors encourage reflection, ask questions, provide challenges, and constructive feedback to help mentees make their own decisions.

At Andhra University, we believe that mentoring should not be bound by rigid protocols. Instead, mentors and mentees are encouraged to define their relationship and process according to their unique needs, aspirations, and capabilities.

• Initial Meeting: This serves as a critical starting point, where mentor and mentee discuss the relationship's direction.
• Expectation Alignment: It involves a candid conversation to establish mutual expectations and assess capabilities.
• Future Planning: Creating a roadmap for the mentorship journey, setting a course for future interactions.

Open-Door Student Support:
Furthermore, at Andhra University, the Office of Student Welfare maintains an open-door policy. Any student, irrespective of their college or department, can walk in at any time and share their concerns. This open and inclusive approach reflects our commitment to providing a supportive and welcoming environment for all students, ensuring their well-being and success are at the forefront of our university community.

This flexible approach to mentoring and open-door support empowers individuals to tailor their mentoring experience to their specific needs and circumstances, fostering a supportive and constructive environment for personal and professional growth. With a mentor-mentee ratio of 1:20, our mentoring program ensures that every individual has access to guidance and support, empowering students to explore their potential, seek insights, and make informed decisions. We believe that mentoring is a valuable opportunity for personal growth and development at Andhra University.
