About the Cell

Nabadwip Vidyasagar College (NVC) has a Career and Personal Counselling Cell for students. As per the guidelines and recommendation of UGC XI th plan, the Career and Personal Counselling Cell was established in our college in the year 2012. The main goal of this cell is to make students aware of many job opportunities and also to train them through workshop, seminar and orientation programme in collaboration with some agencies or companies. Some of the students are offered job after such training by agencies. Counselling of students imparts to the students practical knowledge, confidence and a sense of social communication as well as responsibility and reshapes their views and visions. It also improves their overall wellbeing like academic, personal and social, emotional as well as intellectual development. The cell always supports the students to cope with serious mental health issues and build trust, commitment and understanding within them.

The cell operates 6 days in a week. Students can contact with the members of the Cell both in online and offline modes. Interested students may also consult relevant magazines, journals and literatures available in our college library and website. The teachers of NVC and resource persons of different institutions also guide and enlighten the students regarding the future scopes and subject matters in a regular basis. Study materials along with PPT and video lectures are also supplied to the students. Information is conveyed to the students through notice in the college campus as well as in college website. The cell acts for the students from their career planning to relationship problems and stress and health issues.

Vision:

The cell actively functions to develop soft skill and communication ability in competitive examinations, on-job training and vocational training among the students. Different counselling programmes make the students mentally strong and meet their need in different academic, personal, social and emotional development.
