Mentors are senior students and professionals who have ‘been in your shoes’, have ‘made it’ and thus precisely understand your problems and their solutions
They come from diverse educational backgrounds and from institutes like IIT, IIM, Harvard, Oxford and other good universities.

Irrespective of the phase of your journey towards your goal, mentors can help you form a suitable strategy destination, identify your strengths and weaknesses, and work with you at every corner to help you reach your goals. If you are confused about your career, mentors can even help you identify it and put the best foot forward.

To get an idea about kind of questions can be asked to mentors or how would be a typical conversation, look at Sample Questions and Sample Consultation.

Charged Services
Telephonic Consultation is the primary service which is charged at Rs. 300 per consultation call. The emphasis is not on call duration but getting one’s doubts resolved. The consultations from our experience last around one hour. User doesn't need to pay the connection charges as he receives and incoming call from the mentor.

Free Services
'Web Seminars' and 'Ask our Mentors' features provide students an opportunity to participate and raise their doubts and concern to mentors. The topics of Web Seminars are declared from time to time, whereas in 'Ask Our Mentors' you can post your smallest questions to mentors anytime. They are free services as of now.

'Links to Knowledge' aims to bring you the most useful and productive web resources of your interest at one place whereas as 'Learn from Experience' section digs out secrets of Mentor's success through interviews.

You can pay for the services through your credit card. Read more about the Payment Modes
We are also in the process to configure additional methods of payment for you such as Debit Cards, DDs, Cheques and Net-Banking.

Telephone remains the primary medium for one-to-one paid consultation. MentorPolis team will gather your requirements and will get in touch with mentor to fix up a suitable time for the call. For more details see 'Telephonic Consultation'
