24X7 tollfree online counselling service by ACGC

Since ACGC is opened for students, six days a week until 6pm, the round the clock 24*7 on call/online counselling services are available for students. This is a crisis intervention service where students are provided with adequate help, support and guidance to manage their immediate concerns. The availability of round the clock counselling service specifically to students who are away from their parents and during examinations provides a much-needed support to students. Toll free number is operational 24*7 during the year.

Special Guidance teams (SGT) for hostel visits  

Apart from counselling services as a support system for students, Special Guidance Team of faculty members go to visit hostels on weekly basis. As students tend to get stressed and feel anxious during examinations in the absence of parental support, the frequency of visits is increased, and these teams visit hostels daily. It has been taken as a welcoming step by students as it is helping them cope with exam stress and anxiety.
