WELLNESS CELL
1 About the RGIT Wellness Cell

The Wellness Cell at Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Technology (RGIT) is a dedicated space created to support the emotional, psychological, and overall well-being of our students. Through our partnership with the Social and Behavioural Centre for Change and Communication (SBC3), we provide timely, accessible, and meaningful mental-health support to help students navigate academic pressure, personal challenges, and everyday stress.

About SBC3 & MindVibez

The Social and Behavioural Centre of Change and Communication (SBC3) specialises in communication and behaviour-change strategies. Through MindVibez — a college-level extension — evidence-based tools are delivered to young adults via facilitator-led experiential sessions that build emotional literacy and coping skills.

Our goal is simple: to ensure every RGIT student has a safe, confidential, and supportive space to seek help and build resilience.

2 What the Wellness Cell Offers
  • One-on-One Counselling — Free, confidential, student-centred sessions with trained counsellors for anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship concerns, motivation, academic pressure, career counselling and general well‑being.
  • Wellness Workshops & Group Sessions — Stress & anxiety management, mindfulness, emotional regulation, self-esteem, communication skills and peer-support circles.
  • MindVibez at RGIT — signature emotional-wellness experiences blending movement, breathwork and reflective activities (click the MindVibez report for details).
  • Teacher & Parent Engagement — sensitisation sessions for teachers and planned sessions for parents to build supportive environments around students.
3 Counselling Support Framework

To ensure students receive appropriate and timely support, we follow a needs-based assignment process. Students submit an appointment request via our booking form and indicate their primary concern, preferred mode (in-person or online), and availability. This helps the team match them with a counsellor with relevant expertise. Preferences for counsellor gender will be accommodated where possible.

How it works
  1. Step 1: Student submits an appointment request via the booking form (click "Book Counselling Appointment").
  2. Step 2: The Energetix / SBC3 team review the concern and match the student with a counsellor best suited to the need and preferred mode.
  3. Step 3: The assigned counsellor contacts the student to schedule the session (in-person or online as requested).
  4. Step 4: Follow-up sessions arranged as required.

Availability — Sessions are scheduled based on the student's availability, counsellor schedule, and urgency of the concern.
