Abstract

Academic counseling as an integral part of teaching activities provides teachers an opportunity to give appropriate and correct information to the students and helping them to clarify their needs, feelings and motivations. It includes information, advice and counseling as its components. Information is about knowledge, which is largely independent of the student. Rules, regulations, and similar things need to be informed. Counselling is letting the student decide for himself as to what is best for him regarding choice of courses, career, and other points which need one path to choose out of many available You need appropriate knowledge and communicating ability to be able to inform. Advising is a mixture of the two, after clarifying the need, teacher offer several options, but recommends only one, especially for that particular student. As a counselor, a teacher needs to be a good listener. The counselor has to classify the request (information, advice or counselling), make the student comfortable and let him talk about the problem with the intention of solving it. Consequence is the most important part of counseling interview. It is mutually agreeing to what the student will do as a result of this interaction.
