The Context
Student support in the broadest terms is the gamut of all activities that help in the progression of
the students in addition to their studies. Acquisition of skills for employability, inculcation of values and
overall personality development.
Many factors contribute to the development of student support services and to the sustenance of

arrangement to spot and nurture talent, mentoring for academic development, placement and counseling. The
competitiveness of an institution to attract the best students, its status, the socioeconomic, educational and
cultural ethos in which the institution operates and the public accreditation it enjoys depend on the
effectiveness of such arrangements.
All above factors where taken care while designing the present best practice in Yashavantrao
Chavan Institute of Science, Satara.
Challenges –
Lack of information about these activities or a failure to disseminate information about the benefits
of such services to students.
Lack of awareness and adequate design of the best practice with proper coaching and infrastructure
facilities.
The Practice
Career guidance and placement services refer to provision of linkages to the campus life of
students with the realities to be faced by them when they seek employment or opt for further higher studies.
