Student Induction Programme Cell

 

AICTE has introduced a three-week induction program for all freshmen students from 2017 with one faculty associated for 20-25 students. This step is taken to build a strong connect between students and the faculty on one hand and create holistic awareness about Universal Human Values.

Why SIP Cell?

Transition from school to university/college life is one of the most challenging events in a student’s life. When new students enter an institution, they come with diverse thoughts, backgrounds and preparations. They come into a new unfamiliar environment, and most of them have little knowledge of a university/college. An important task, therefore, is to welcome new students to Higher Education and prepare them for their new role. Student Induction is designed to help in the whole process.

The term induction is generally used to describe the whole process whereby the incumbents adjust to or acclimatize to their new roles and environment. In other words, it is a well-planned event to educate the new entrants about the environment in a particular institution, and connect them with the people in it. Student Induction Programme engages with the new students as soon as they come into the institution, before regular classes start. At the start of the induction, the incumbents learn about the institutional policies, processes, practices, culture and values, and their mentor groups are formed.

Objectives

One of the objectives of the three-week induction programme is to engage students in different art forms like painting, singing, dance, drama, pottery, yoga, meditation, etc. It also aims to channelize the ecstatic energy of the students into several productive activities like sports, cultural programmes. Inspirational lectures by eminent personalities, visits to nearby historical places and industry, village life, discussions and film screenings etc. are also a part of this programme. A faculty member trained in Universal Human Values programme, helps students in the right development of their world-view, mindset, perspective and values.
