The mentoring programme at the institute level needs to be designed and implemented to develop competence, commitment, and confidence in faculty members to implement the strategic institute development plan in the context of the national education policy 2020 in higher education institutions (HEIs). An exploratory study was conducted using a researchers-designed semi-structured questionnaire which was mailed to 8500 potential respondents out of which 525 responded within the time limit. From formulating the topic of the study to completing the study, the literature review was useful. Based on the responses, literature review, experience of researchers and views of experts a mentoring system model is evolved for faculty members of HEIs. The model comprises four major elements viz. input, mentoring types, mentoring processes and mentoring outcomes. Each element of the model is further detailed in sub-elements. This mentoring system model may be adopted by HEIs in their context for designing and implementing the mentoring programme. – Reproduced
