The need for Counselling:

College students are the cream of adolescent and young adult population. They are under tremendous pressure as they are expected not only to succeed but also become toppers in their classes and courses.

At college level, there is a crazy rush to enter professional courses. Students who fail to get into the courses of their or parents' choice, get frustrated. Though they join some courses, their morale is very low. They start complaining about the parents, teachers and the society. They are less motivated to learn and complete the course. At times they may drop out of the course. Factors such as, deteriorating value system in the society, failure of the political and administrative systems to provide them job opportunities, print and electronic media which on one hand put an unrealistic glamorous life style and on the other hand glorify sex, crime and violence, influence college students in a negative manner. Families are becoming smaller and smaller and are unable to provide the needed support and guidance. Ambivalence, confusion, helplessness prevail in the student community.
