At FLAME, we believe that learning happens both inside and outside the Classrooms. Each student has a mentor and a counselor who guides and helps the student not only through their academic challenges but also their adjustment issues. Top

Mentoring enables you to connect with the subject through continuous dialogue with the professors in an informal environment; the faculty will spend 6 hours per week with students outside the classroom. Students can talk, discuss and receive guidance, address their confusions and fears; answer questions, involve them in research to facilitate their interest in the subject. Top

FLAME will have a dedicated career-counseling center. The primary aim of this center will be to help students discover their potential, guide, and counsel them to make proper career choices. The counselor also helps you deal with your day-to-day emotional issues.
In short, they will be encouraged to develop their talent and skills in tune with their interests and aptitude. Top

A mentor helps you through your courses, academics, and curriculum. The counselor helps you with dealing with your day-to-day issues about adjustment to campus life, peer issues, and managing your life in general. Top
