Introduction
Engineering colleges were established to train graduates in their respective branch/ department of
study, have a holistic outlook towards life, and have a desire to work for national needs and beyond.
The graduating student must have excellent knowledge and skills in the area of his study.
However, he must also have broad understanding of society and relationships. Character needs to be
nurtured as an essential quality by which he would understand and fulfill his responsibility as an
engineer, a citizen and a human being. Besides the above, several meta-skills and underlying values
are needed.
To come out of this situation, a multi-pronged approach is needed. One will have to work closely with
the newly joined students in making them feel comfortable, allow them to explore their academic
interests and activities, reduce competition and make them work for excellence, promote bonding
within them, build relations between teachers and students, give a broader view of life, and build
character.
When new students enter an institution, they also come with diverse thoughts, backgrounds and
preparations. They come into a new unfamiliar environment, and many of them have little knowledge
of a university/college. An important task, therefore, is to welcome the new students to higher
education and prepare them for their new role.
Transition from school to university/college life is one of the most challenging events in a student’s
life. Currently, precious little is done by most institutions, except for an orientation program lasting a
couple of days. Student Induction is designed to help in the whole process. Therefore, it should be
taken seriously, and as something more than the mere orientation program.

The Higher Educational institutions play an important role in development of individual, family and
society, laying foundation of a strong nation. The goal is to enrich all fields of knowledge, inculcate
sense of responsibility and enhance the inner potential of an individual.

Student Induction Program - Purpose & Concept

Purpose of the Student Induction Program is to help new students adjust and feel comfortable in the
new environment, inculcate in them the ethos and culture of the institution, help them build bonds
with other students and faculty members, and expose them to a sense of larger purpose and self-
exploration.
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 Program engages with the new students as soon as they come into the
institution; regular classes start only after that. At the start of the induction, the incumbents learn
about the institutional policies, processes, practices, culture and values, and their mentor groups are
formed. Then the different activities start, including those which are daily.
We were warmly greeted by all our faculty member and given a glance at our collage and we were
also given a taste of what we could become in our future.

Familiarization with College, Department/Branch

The incoming students should be told about the credit and grading system, and about the
examinations. They should be informed about how study in college differs from study in school. They
should also be taken on a tour of the college and shown important points such as library, canteen,
and other facilities.
We were shown own department, and told what it means to get into the branch or department. Our
professors explained to us what role the technology related to their department plays in society, and
after graduation what role we the student would play in society as an engineer in that branch. A
lecture by an alumnus of the Dept. was held during this session, where they told us how to world
work and what we need to be successful. We were also shown our laboratories, workshops and other
facilities.
Partners in Induction:
• Head of the institution

• Important functionaries

• Faculty mentors

• Students’ council/association
 • Selected senior students (student guides)

• Selected alumni

• Civil society

• Invited distinguished people

Universal Human Values and Scaling Up

The Universal Human Values course is a result of a long series of experiments at educational institutes starting from IIT
Delhi and IIT Kanpur in the 1980s and 1990s as an elective course, and in NIT Raipur in early 2000s as a compulsory
one week off-campus program. At IIIT Hyderabad, two regular compulsory courses were introduced in July 2005 for all
BTech students. The courses at IIT(BHU) which started from July 2014, are taken and developed from IIIT Hyderabad.
(A shorter version of UHV has also been included at IIT Mandi, IIT Patna, IIT Kharagpur etc. as a part of their induction
program.)
Multiplication of the Universal Human Values compulsory course took place when Abdul Kalam Technical University
(AKTU), Lucknow, taking the cue from IIIT Hyderabad, adopted it in July 2009 for about 600 engineering colleges. It
spread to Punjab through the Punjab Technical University (PTU), Kapurthala in July 2011 for about 300 engineering
colleges. Similar compulsory course was started in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, but this time for BSc, BA and BCom
students, in July 2013 for about 1000 Government and Aided Colleges, and later in July 2015 for additional 2000 private
colleges. It has also gone to many unitary institutions.
