The ARC coordinates and curates several programmes across the University to facilitate comprehensive academic support that addresses the diverse needs of students in our University. The support is tailored to address specific subject areas or academic challenges across the University. 

Senior students also co-facilitate these programmes as tutors (pre-admission bridge programme), peer tutors (peer tutoring programme) and volunteers (summer and winter bridge programmes).

In India, English is not the first language for many students – even for those students who went to English-medium schools. We offer support to the Undergraduate and Postgraduate students through The Language Centre (TLC) and English-Language support group. 

The Language Centre (TLC)

This centre has been offering English language support to students in the undergraduate programme for many years now. The Centre offers intensive tutorials with English language tutors who work with groups of students in each batch to help them build communicative skills, understand the nuances of academic writing and overcome language barriers in a newfound academic environment.

English-Language Support Centre (ELSC)

Our English Language Support group will help you strengthen your language skills to achieve verbal and writing competency for academic purposes and communication. It will also introduce you to Academic Reading and Writing on a fundamental level. It is offered in our First semester postgraduate programme as part of English Language Learning. It is a two-credit course and part of the open course curriculum. 

We conduct annual intensive summer programmes for both Undergraduate and Postgraduate students to orient them to the University, strengthen their language skills, and quantitative skills while building a foundation in their chosen discipline.

Since December 2022, we have started a peer tutoring programme to complement the other forms of academic support available to students. In this programme, senior students are registered as peer tutors and are assigned tutees from the first year (and second year, if the case permits). Tutees either sign up for peer tutoring or are encouraged by faculty to attend peer tutorial sessions.

We make sure that you have spaces to meet your faculty outside the classroom. During the course of your time at the University, you will be mentored by a faculty member on your academic and personal journey. Reach out for support on problems you may face in the classroom or outside.

There are various kinds of tutorials offered to students based on their needs. The ARC along with TLC, offers small-group tutorials for English (for undergraduates).

The ARC offers one-on-one and small-group Academic Reading and Writing tutorial sessions to students (undergraduate and postgraduate students) who approach the ARC for support. The students can directly write to the ARC for a tutorial session.

We offer several workshops and one-on-one mentoring sessions to develop the skills and competencies that will be most useful for placements and in your work. 

The ARC has conducted workshops in academic reading and writing, data analysis, and various other technical skills to enhance learning and student engagement in their educational pursuits. These workshops are offered by our faculty as well as other specialist trainers. 

Our Medical Centre gives you primary care and referrals at no cost. We offer resources in case of medical emergencies and immediate services for common and minor ailments at our clinic. With hospitals close by, we ensure that you have medical care whenever you need it, in addition to an ambulance on call. 

You are covered under a Health Insurance Scheme for in-patient and out-patient expenses and can contact the Student Helpdesk for queries and issues.

We offer counselling services to help you cope with any problems or distress that you may be facing during your time at the University. We know that you may need assistance to work through the demands of your coursework, adjusting to a diverse peer group, and living in a new space. 

Our team of qualified counsellors at Conversations: Centre for Positive Mental Health and Wellbeing are professionally trained to listen to and understand your concerns. We assure complete confidentiality. We offer personal therapy and group therapy, awareness sessions and skill-building workshops.
