The Student Counselling Cell at the Federal Institute of Science and Technology (FISAT) is dedicated to promoting the mental health, emotional well-being, and overall development of students. We provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where students can discuss academic, personal, emotional, or psychological concerns and receive professional support.

Counselling is a collaborative process that helps students understand themselves better, manage stress, build resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and make informed decisions. Guided by the principles of empathy, respect, confidentiality, and professional ethics, the Counselling Cell encourages students to seek help whenever they need support.

The Cell is led by a full-time qualified Mental Health Counsellor (Psychologist) and works in collaboration with faculty mentors, Heads of Departments, hostel authorities, parents, and healthcare professionals, whenever required, to foster a healthy, supportive, and student-friendly campus environment.
