Abstract
Mentoring is one of the most dynamic and traditional tutelage tools that is dynamically used in
teaching and learning in educational field. Mentoring is a conventional method of transferring knowledge and
ideas from a confirmed professional in society to an inexperienced member in the sector. The education sector
has found mentoring as quite an effective tool since long back and with the advent of new technologies, comes
an idea of online mentoring, which is also referred to as e-mentoring. Instead of face-to-face meetings, Online
Mentoring System (OMS) uses asynchronous, electronic communications to establish and support the
relationship between the mentor and the student using virtual mode.E-Mentoring uses a computerized medium
to transfer knowledge and skills from mentor to mentee. Online Mentoring System is a Client-Server model,
which acts as an Interface between mentor and mentee. OMS strives to reduce the workload of students in
entering their details and at the same time enable the Mentors to assess their students more efficiently. It will
also undertake a career exploration journey that will help them make informed career choices.
