For this purpose, the Women Cell, Career Counselling Cell, Anti-Ragging Cell, Proctorial Board, and Mentor-Mentee system are operated with a special focus on the needs and requirements of the girl students. Awareness programs on gender issues are organized to enable the students to realize their full potential for learning and solving their problems independently.

There is one NCC unit for girls and one unit of NSS and Rangers respectively. Girls are encouraged to join these institutions to develop in them leadership qualities and prepare them for the challenges in their future.
