Download Implementation Resources

SIP is only the beginning of engagement with newly joined students. Ongoing mentorship and guidance are essential for holistic development throughout their academic journey.

Faculty Mentorship Program

Each faculty mentor is associated with a small group of about 20 students. Mentoring continues throughout all semesters, integrating with other cultural activities for comprehensive student development.

Student Buddy Program

Senior students guide smaller groups of about 5 new students, providing peer support throughout their academic journey. This creates a cycle where students become buddies for their juniors, developing leadership and responsibility.

Institutions must submit a comprehensive report to AICTE within 2 weeks after SIP completion, including all relevant documentation and feedback.

Report Components:
  • SIP activities with photos
  • Detailed schedule with resource persons
  • Impact assessment analysis
  • UHV-I module implementation details
  • Best practices documentation
  • Improvement suggestions

Essential: Faculty must be properly equipped and prepared to conduct SIP effectively. The core UHV-I module should only be taught by certified UHV faculty.
