Student Welfare First: The Supportive Ecosystem of East Point College of Engineering
Introduction
A student’s success is built on a foundation of safety, equity, and support. East Point College of Engineering has established a robust welfare system that looks beyond academic grades to ensure every student feels heard, protected, and empowered throughout their campus journey.
Key Points of Excellence
Diversity and the 39% Milestone
The campus prides itself on being an inclusive environment, with female students making up 39% of the total student body. This is significantly higher than the national average for engineering colleges, reflecting the institution’s success in creating a safe and welcoming space for women in STEM.
East Point College of Engineering maintains a proactive Women’s Empowerment Cell and an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC). These bodies ensure that any concerns related to safety or gender equity are addressed with the highest priority and absolute confidentiality.
Personalized Counseling and Mentorship
Recognizing the mental toll of a rigorous engineering course, the college offers 1:1 professional counseling services. Every student is also assigned a "Faculty Mentor" who tracks their academic and personal well-being, acting as a bridge between the student and the administration.
These mentors help students manage academic stress, adjust to hostel life, and plan their career goals. This personalized attention ensures that no student feels lost in the crowd of a large campus.
Anti-Ragging and Safe Spaces
The institution follows a strict Zero-Tolerance Policy toward ragging. A dedicated anti-ragging squad patrols the campus and hostels, ensuring that freshmen can focus on their studies without fear or intimidation.
The "Jnanaprabha" campus is a secure zone with 24/7 CCTV surveillance and controlled access points. The presence of resident wardens and campus security ensures that students can move freely and safely, even during late-night study sessions in the library.
Supporting Out-of-State Students
With 18% of the student population coming from outside Karnataka, the college has developed a specialized support system for non-local students. This includes a multi-cuisine mess that caters to diverse palates and language-bridge programs to help them integrate into the local community.
Cultural clubs organize festivals that celebrate the traditions of different Indian states, ensuring that every student feels a piece of "home" while they are on campus. This multicultural harmony is the backbone of the East Point experience.
