The Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IIT Kanpur) is deeply committed to the holistic well-being of its students, recognizing the paramount importance of prioritizing mental health. The Institute Counselling Service (ICS) boasts six clinical psychologists, supported by student volunteers and faculty advisors, offering a robust support system.
Recent tragic incidents prompted the institute to strengthen its counseling services, including hiring additional professionals and hostel managers.
New welfare initiatives include:
- Reinforced PG Core Counseling Team: Swift responses and individualized mental health support for students.
- Department-Level Discussions: Identifying and addressing academic stress, isolation, and challenges at an early stage.
- Peer Mentorship: Senior PG students mentor newcomers for a smoother transition.
- Faculty Guides: Informal communication channels for non-academic matters, fostering a supportive environment.
- Interactive Hostel Events: Positive and engaging events to build community support.
- Mental Health Awareness Programs: To be scheduled every semester.
A five-member review committee has been formed to address student concerns promptly, gathering insights from department interactions, alumni, and other stakeholders. IIT Kanpur has also implemented academic reforms, offering flexibility in Ph.D. programs, increased financial assistance, streamlined post-graduate admissions, and choices between a thesis or a project in the MTech program.
Dedicated to creating a supportive, inclusive, and academically empowering environment, IIT Kanpur reaffirms its commitment to the mental and emotional well-being of every student.
