Student Counselling Cell
Proctoring System
The proctoring system at ACE is implemented to continuously monitor and direct students, ensuring their overall development. A subtle degree of enforcing discipline is blended with emotional bonding between the student and faculty supervisor, from orientation all the way to farewell.
Hierarchy of Proctoring

Methodology
Every student is associated with a faculty member who acts as a supervisor โ the first point of contact for any issue that might hinder the student’s development. The supervisor speaks and acts for the student while also overseeing their conduct, behaviour, and performance.
How Proctoring Works
Upon admission, every student is required to fill a proctorial form.
The departmental committee and proctorial board allot a faculty member to each student.
The student is required to meet the proctor once a month as a regular practice. This meeting shall be initiated by the faculty supervisor.
The student is expected to share comforts, conveniences, and difficulties with the supervisor. The supervisor should create a conducive environment that encourages open discussion of academic as well as personal issues, including the impact of socio-economic background on the learning process.
The supervisor provides a proper, simple, and practical solution either independently or in collaboration with colleagues.
The gist of every meeting is recorded in the proctorial form and signed by both the faculty member and the student.
Before discussing new issues, the matters discussed in previous meetings are reviewed.
Critical issues are brought to the notice of the proctorial board and, if necessary, a meeting is convened to resolve them at the earliest possible time.
The proctor encourages the student to set targets and work towards achieving them.
Mentoring Program
Four years of engineering college demands social skills that many students lack. Faculty are required to impart communication, leadership, trust, decision-making, and conflict management skills โ motivating students to excel in their professional and personal lives.
