The Students' Personal and Career Development Centre is an on-campus counselling facility at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. The Centre is committed to providing the Institute's students, faculty and staff members with a space for self exploration and addressing of psychological concerns, leading to personal, social and professional growth. Our aim is to create a campus environment that celebrates happiness, wellbeing, and diversity. SPCDC offers community members an inclusive space for sharing, learning, living together and growing.

We work with a range of themes that include communication skills, interpersonal and social skills, time management, relationships, gender identity, coping with grief/separation, professional aspirations, career planning, learning skills, trauma, stress, psychiatric concerns and self concept. Community members are encouraged to include mental health as a priority in their journeys as fully functional individuals.

SPCDC offers short term individual counselling, extended psychotherapeutic support plans, and group sessions. A range of psychometric tools are used for assessment and self exploration. Referrals for medical and psychiatric consultations are available on request.
