Student Induction Program

When new students enter an institution, they come with diverse thoughts, backgrounds and preparations. It is necessary to create an environment for students so that they feel comfortable, find their interest and explore their inner beings, create bonding with other students, establish relation with teachers, work for excellence, get a broader view of life and practice human values to build characters. An induction program for undergraduate students is an essential step in helping them transition smoothly into their academic journey. The program provides information about the university, academic expectations, support services, and campus life.
