Message from Director
The Students Counseling and Guidance Centre (SCGC) of Jahangirnagar University (JU) was established in the middle of 1982, as recommended by the Jahangirnagar University Act, 1973. The main objective of the SCGC is to facilitate a congenial learning environment for students from different parts of the country by providing necessary guidance, suitable counseling, and solving their concerns within the scope of the SCGC. It organizes various programs to stimulate young minds, fostering their overall development and nurturing their creative personalities as responsible citizens of the country.
The Students Counseling and Guidance Centre (SCGC) is responsible for promoting and enhancing students' welfare. To deliver this service, we create and oversee a variety of programs that include social extra-curricular activities, psychosocial support, counseling, and guidance. We organize seminars and workshops to enhance the skills of interested students. We arrange job fairs to facilitate job opportunities for our students by inviting national and multinational companies, NGOs, etc., for suitable job placements and internships. Within the framework, co-curricular activities are organized throughout the year.
I would appreciate our students spontaneously joining our programs and activities in order to enhance their skills, knowledge, and ability to apply their academic and extra-academic learning outcomes in many ways. I wish all the students the best of learning during their programs in our stimulating academic and environment friendly most livable green campus of our university. I expect that our students will be acquainted with moral values, skills, and analytical and creative abilities to serve the nation as well as the world as responsible individuals.
