Introduction
Engineering is the use of scientific principles to design and build machines, structures, and other items,
including bridges, tunnels, roads, vehicles, and buildings. The discipline of engineering encompasses a broad
range of more specialized fields of engineering, each with a more specific emphasis on particular areas of
applied mathematics, applied science, and types of application
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.

Engineering is important. It is also challenging and exciting. Engineers use models provided by
science combined with innovative thinking to solve problems and create new designs that
benefit humanity.
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.
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
• Selected alumni
• Civil society
• Invited distinguished people
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
theirinduction 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.
Dr R Sarmanan: -
The second day was dedicated fully to the explanation of academics and the courses, the course load and the
grading schemes. It was conducted by School of Electrical Engineering . All the senior faculties and HOD
guided students.

DAY 4 : -
Sharing whole set of ideas which would inculcate in us during 4-5 years of stay in vit
Stress binds us of solutions, opportunities
Eating, sleeping, exercising are common stress busters
Areas of focus‐self-development, life goals, self-worth, academic life, relationships
Stress is inevitable, thus we must manage it
In order to build yourself-have the right perceptions-> allows you to see solution in problems, allows us to
see goals in chaos
To build the right perception-learn about what you are against, understand its consequences on you, learn
its impact.
We had discussed 10 commandments as well, Living in harmony with self-peers, animals, environment.
If we safeguard our environment, then the environment would safeguard us
Do not wish for a snuggle without learning the struggle, it’s important to build a strong self-worth
Stop procrastination- tomorrow becomes more stressful than today
Don’t pitch your tent on loose soils
Sometimes we commit to something without knowing what it leads to
Identify stress and manage it
