1.1 Semester System
The University follows semester system. Each semester being of 15-18 weeks as per UGC and other relevant

1.2 Outcome Based Education
At Amity, we follow an outcome based education system. The curriculum, pedagogy and assessment
process are driven with the desired outcome. Outcome Based Education promises high level of learning
facilitated carefully to achieve outcomes, characterized by its appropriateness to each learner’s
development level.
Outcome based education system is a systematic, evaluative process that is implemented to assure learning
experiences that are congruent with original goals and objectives; thereby providing a basis for the
effectiveness and continuous quality improvement of the programme of study. It focuses on the
measurement of outcomes that have taken place based on strategies and actions implemented in the
pursuit of achieving pre-determined objectives.
Each programme has well defined Programme Education Objectives (PEOs) and Programme Learning
Outcomes (PLOs). The relationship of PEOs and PLOs are clearly indicated through the mapping of learning
outcomes with the established Objective. Each outcome addresses some objective and achievement of
outcome indicates the attainment of Objective. The assessment of each learning outcome is done annually
to identify that the established learning objectives are achieved. The gaps identified are analyzed and
addressed through the properly laid action plan.
The assessment of outcomes is both quantitative and qualitative and focuses on improving teaching by
analyzing student learning outcomes. The appropriate direct and indirect tools are developed to measure
the extent of learning. Each learning outcome is assessed by at least one direct and one indirect method.
The results of the annual assessments and other data are used to determine the effectiveness of the
programme during the programme review process. It also ensures that the outcomes achieved
corresponds with the mission of institution, domain and University.

5.16 Mentoring
Mentoring is to support and encourage students to manage their own learning in order that they may maximise
their potential, develop their skills, improve their performance and become the person they want to be.
Mentoring is a partnership between two people, Mentor & Mentee, based on mutual trust and respect.
74
STUDENT
2018-19
HANDBOOK
At Amity, mentoring encourages students to take guidance and develop partnerships with four types of mentors:
• Faculty Mentor
• Alumni Mentor
• Industry Mentor
• Parent Mentor
All four Mentors jointly collaborate towards the development of the student through a process of experiential
guidance and learning.
Mentor’s Role
A mentor is a guide who can help the mentee to find the right direction, boost confidence, provide guidance and
encouragement. They are the role models for the mentees and should counsel and reduce anxiety levels of the
young mentees.
Mentee’s Role
The mentee must take the initiative to build the relationship. The final responsibility for actions taken, as a result of
mentoring, lies with the mentee. The mentee student must:
a) Have a strong commitment for self-improvement and achievement in professional/personal areas
b) Be open & receptive to new ideas/learning and willing to apply those to practical situations
c) Be ready to ask for help/guidance and not wait for a formal schedule
d) Readily accept the feedback and act upon it
Road Map
The mentoring process develops in five phases:
Establish - During the first few meetings, both the mentor and mentee get to know each other and build trust.
Elucidate - Mentoring program spreads awareness and understanding on various issues-Academic and
Professional.
Expand
- The mutual trust with the mentor can give the mentee the confidence to challenge the ideas of the mentor,
just as the mentor will challenge the mentees ideas.
Engage
This phase is the start of a personal action plan of the mentee to attain his/her goal. The mentor s role is to
facilitate the process.
Evolve
At this stage the mentor steps back from the formal relationship to discuss together with the mentee how they
wish to continue their relationship.
The above phases are not exclusive or time bound. The pace of mentoring depends on the strength of the
relationship and the enthusiasm of the mentee. The relationship is not limited to the duration of stay at Amity and
can be a life- long relationship.
Benefits of mentoring programme.
a) Helps the mentee gain a better understanding of self
b) Provides an insight into the present and future professional work environment
c) Show relevance and linkage of the professional environment to their program of studies
