A Study on Innovative Practices for Quality Enhancement in Mentor-Mentee System of Higher Education Institutions in Bengaluru

Abstract

A Mentorship program is said to be a systematic and well-organized initiative that starts with the matching of more experienced individuals (mentors) with less experienced individuals (mentees to provide guidance, support, and knowledge transfer). It is an ongoing process wherein Faculty members of HEI help and mentor the mentees, enhancing the mentee’s caliber in Higher Educational Institutions. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of the mentorship program by implementing a few selected innovative practices and the impact of these methods in improving the quality of outcomes concerning the individual’s holistic development. The paper examines the effectiveness of the selected four innovative practices. Also, it helps to know the combination of the factors that may lead to quality excellence in implementing the mentor system in the Higher Education System.
