Abstract

A mentoring approach towards excellence is proposed in this paper. This approach should be followed to develop educational leaders and faculty members to prepare HEIs to build capacity and capability to implement the provisions of the national education policy (NEP) 2020. The approach includes designing the mentoring programme at the institute level, selection and orientation of mentors, selection and orientation of mentees, mentoring process, mentees and mentors’ outcomes, and ultimate outcomes of the mentoring programme-academic, research, and excellence. The authors have noted recommendations to make the mentoring programme successful.

Summary

Rationale

The government of India announced the national education policy (NEP) 2020 in which it is mentioned that the national mission for mentoring shall be established to provide mentoring/ professional support to faculty members of higher education institutions (HEIs). The existing and potential faculty members will require intensive mentoring related to their roles and responsibilities They will require mentoring, coaching, guidance, and counselling (MCGC) to develop role-related ability and proficiency. The MCGC will enable HEIs to assure the quality of education through faculty members who work at a cutting-edge level, which will result in the accreditation of programmes and institutions resulting in a greater degree of autonomy and a higher level of academic standards. This approach will take institutions towards achieving a higher rank in the national and international ranking system. The mentoring programme should focus on personal and professional development; it should result in increased quality, obtaining accreditation, and achieving excellence as envisioned in NEP 2020
