Students are the main customers of educational institutions.  It is the responsibility of the institution to develop not only the intellectual ability of the student but his total personality as well. Towards this end, a robust program of student personnel services is designed to help the student, throughout his academic life, attain his maximum potential and become a worthy member of the society.  Student support services complement the academic program.
