After securing admission at the Institute and starting your stay here, you may feel that a lot of parameters around you are different. You would have more responsibilities to handle at the hostel and at the academic level. Take heart, you will not be the only one. There are a few issues that almost everyone in the Institute faces initially like academic concerns, social (family and peer) pressure etc., and leading to feelings of loneliness and anxiety that impacts personal morale and academic performance.
It is important to understand that students may lose focus and subject to these pressures. If not attended to at the right time, this could lead to poor performance -- both academically and personally.
To help you refrain from losing focus and being unhappy, your Counsellor encourages you to approach for any problem that you are facing- be it academic, emotional, social or financial- without hesitation.
