Article Abstract:

The requirement of personal and emotional support from academicians increases with an increase in the number of students from a broader range of socioeconomic backgrounds. The inability of tutors to provide such help to the students due to the pressure of workload is tackled by many universities by dividing the job between academic tutors and personal tutors responsible for pastoral care.
