Student Support

Patkai Student Council

There are two Student bodies in the college- the Students’ Union Patkai Christian College (SUPCC) and Post Graduate Students’ Welfare Council (PGSWC). Formed with an aim to maintain a vibrant relation between the college authority and the student community, both are committed to transparency, accountability and advancement of the interests of the students in particular and the college at large. The two bodies ensure that the students co-operate and participate in the activities beneficial to oneself and the college. They have parliamentary sittings and meetings where they come up with decisions and requests that are put across to the concerned authority for necessary action. This practice has proved to be helpful for the college management in gauging the needs and desires of the students. The Student bodies also have meetings with the BOT, Principal, and Alumni Association whenever the situation demands. The functioning of the student bodies are carried out under the supervision and guidance of the Students’ Advisor who is the Dean of Students and a senior faculty.

Women Cell/Gender Champions

Patkai is a co-educational institution with 50% of its students as women. Women have played an important role since the inception of the college and continue to do so.

Students Mentoring and Counselling Programme

Students mentoring and counselling programme is by far one of the best practices of the College in grooming the students into men and women of value. The IQAC kept its goal as “Students Mentoring Activity” to be of top priority in the year 2017 – 2018. Along with the mentoring activity undertaken by the college faculties, the college has three (3) trained counsellors who take up Counselling activity rigorously. Students who enter the college with little understanding of the complex landscape of higher education, its purpose and unsure of what they would do with their graduate degrees are well directed to academic excellence and ideal career pathways through mentoring. The modus-operandi of mentoring in the college is briefly highlighted in the following lines. The Head of Departments (HoDs) of the each department is fully entrusted to carry out compulsory mentoring each semester. The HoDs allocate each teacher a certain numbers of students to be mentored.

The college also offers a Certificate Course on Counselling as value-added course.

The students are also taken to adopted villages to carry out social service activities spreading the message of cleanliness and hygiene among the community
