What is Mentorship?
Mentorship is more than just advice. It’s a one-on-one relationship where a seasoned professional helps you navigate your journey be it in career planning, skill development, or real-world problem solving.
Unlike YouTube videos or online courses, mentorship is interactive, personal, and tailored to you.

Why Every Student Needs a Mentor?
Here’s why mentorship isn’t optional anymore:
1. Clarity in Career Choices
Confused between Data Science and Product Management? Don’t know if you should study abroad?
A mentor shares real-world insights that help you decide with confidence not guesswork.

2. Real-World Exposure
Textbooks don’t show you what a day at Google or a startup looks like. Mentors do.
They’ve been there, and they’ll help you see what it’s actually like to work in your dream field.
