UCOST Mentorship Program

The Uttarakhand State Council for Science and Technology (UCOST) has launched the UCOST Mentorship Program with the aim of inspiring students towards education and research, while helping them overcome challenges they face in their academic journey. This initiative is especially focused on students from remote areas who face financial or other difficulties. Through this program, students are guided by distinguished national and international experts.


What is Mentorship?

Mentorship is a special relationship between a mentor (an experienced, knowledgeable guide) and a learner (a student). The mentor provides advice and direction in education, personality development, skill enhancement, and career growth. This relationship plays a crucial role in the intellectual and practical development of students.

Goal of the Program

The primary goal of the UCOST Mentorship Program is to offer students expert guidance on education and career planning. Through online interactions, students in Uttarakhand can connect with national and international mentors to receive quality advice and solutions to academic and career-related challenges.

Key Features

Who Can Become a Mentor?

Any individual passionate about guiding and supporting students can become a mentor. This includes government and private sector employees, scientists, professors, researchers, lecturers, retired officers, and other domain experts. Mentors answer students’ questions, provide career guidance, and support institutional activities.
