Abstract: With the rise of flexible curriculum models across many Higher Educational Institutions and an expanding array of courses and programs available, it's crucial to ensure that students leverage the wealth of information to make well-informed decisions about their academic trajectory. This can be achieved through a robust student advisory system. At our institution, we prioritize individual student support through a unique advisory approach involving all teaching staff members. Advisors play a pivotal role in students' academic journeys by offering mentorship, expert guidance, and access to resources that foster learning and development. The paper focusses on the development of a standardised index for measuring the effectiveness of student advisory system. Employing an ex-post facto research design, a sample of 120 students across three agricultural colleges under PJTSAU. Results revealed that the majority of students, 47.5 per cent perceived the effectiveness of the advisory system to be at a moderate level, followed by high (27.5%) and low (25.0%).
