A Guide to Induction Program

1 Introduction

(Induction Program was discussed and approved for all colleges by AICTE in March 2017.It was
discussed and accepted by the Council of IITs for all IITs in August 2016. It was originally
proposed by a Committee of IIT Directors and accepted at the meeting of all IIT Directors in
March 2016. This guide has been prepared based on the Report of the Committee of IIT
Directors and the experience gained through its pilot implementation in July 2016 as accepted by
the Council of IITs. Purpose of this document is to help institutions in understanding the spirit of
the accepted Induction Program and implementing it.)

Engineering colleges were established to train graduates well in the branch/department of

admission, have a holistic outlook, and have a desire to work for national needs and beyond.

The graduating student must have 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.

There is a mad rush for engineering today, without the student determining for himself his
interests and his goals. This is a major factor in the current state of demotivation towards studies
that exists among UG students.

The success of gaining admission into a desired institution but failure in getting the desired
branch, with peer pressure generating its own problems, leads to a peer environment that is
demotivating and corrosive. Start of hostel life without close parental supervision at the same
time, further worsens it with also a poor daily routine.

48
First Year UG Courses Engg. & Tech. Jharkhand University of Technology

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.

2 Induction Program

When new students enter an institution, they come with diverse thoughts, backgrounds and
preparations. It is important to help them adjust to the new environment and inculcate in them
the ethos of the institution with a sense of larger purpose. Precious little is done by most of the
institutions, except for an orientation program lasting a couple of days.

We propose a 3-week long induction program for the UG students entering the institution, right
at the start. Normal classes start only after the induction program is over. Its purpose is to make
the students feel comfortable in their new environment, open them up, set a healthy daily routine,
create bonding in the batch as well as between faculty and students, develop awareness,
sensitivity and understanding of the self, people around them, society at large, and nature.

The time during the Induction Program is also used to rectify some critical lacunas, for example,
English background, for those students who have deficiency in it. The following are the activities
under the induction program in which the student would be fully engaged throughout the day for
the entire duration of the program.

2.1 Physical Activity

This would involve a daily routine of physical activity with games and sports. It would start with
all students coming to the field at 6 am for light physical exercise or yoga. There would also be
games in the evening or at other suitable times according to the local climate. These would help
develop team work. Each student should pick one game and learn it for three weeks. There could
also be gardening or other suitably designed activity where labour yields fruits from nature.

2.2 Creative Arts

Every student would chose one skill related to the arts whether visual arts or performing arts.
Examples are painting, sculpture, pottery, music, dance etc. The student would pursue it every
day for the duration of the program. These would allow for creative expression. It would develop
a sense of aesthetics and also enhance creativity which would, hopefully, flow into engineering
design later.

49
First Year UG Courses Engg. & Tech. Jharkhand University of Technology

2.3 Universal Human Values

It gets the student to explore oneself and allows one to experience the joy of learning, stand up to
peer pressure, take decisions with courage, be aware of relationships with colleagues and
supporting staff in the hostel and department, be sensitive to others, etc. Need for character
building has been underlined earlier. A module in Universal Human Values provides the base.

Methodology of teaching this content is extremely important. It must not be through do’s and
don’ts, but get students to explore and think by engaging them in a dialogue. It is best taught
through group discussions and real life activities rather than lecturing. The role of group
discussions, however, with clarity of thought of the teachers cannot be over emphasized. It is
essential for giving exposure, guiding thoughts, and realizing values.

The teachers must come from all the departments rather than only one department like HSS or
from outside of the Institute. Experiments in this direction at IIT (BHU) are noteworthy and one
can learn from them.

Discussions would be conducted in small groups of about 20 students with a faculty mentor each.
It is to open thinking towards the self. Universal Human Values discussions could even continue
for rest of the semester as a normal course, and not stop with the induction program.

Besides drawing the attention of the student to larger issues of life, it would build relationships
between teachers and students which last for their entire 4-year stay and possibly beyond.

2.4 Literary

Literary activity would encompass reading, writing and possibly, debating, enacting a play etc.

2.5 Proficiency Modules

This period can be used to overcome some critical lacunas that students might have, for example,
English, computer familiarity etc. These should run like crash courses, so that when normal
courses start after the induction program, the student has overcome the lacunas substantially. We
hope that problems arising due to lack of English skills, wherein students start lagging behind or
failing in several subjects, for no fault of theirs, would, hopefully, become a thing of the past.

2.6 Lectures by Eminent People

This period can be utilized for lectures by eminent people, say, once a week. It would give the
students exposure to people who are socially active or in public life.

50
First Year UG Courses Engg. & Tech. Jharkhand University of Technology

2.7 Visits to Local Area

A couple of visits to the landmarks of the city, or a hospital or orphanage could be organized.
This would familiarize them with the area as well as expose them to the under privileged.

2.8 Familiarization to Dept./Branch & Innovations

The students should be told about different method of study compared to coaching that is needed
at IITs. They should be told about what getting into a branch or department means what role it
plays in society, through its technology. They should also be shown the laboratories, workshops
& other facilities.

3 Schedules

The activities during the Induction Program would have an Initial Phase, a Regular Phase and a
Closing Phase. The Initial and Closing Phases would be two days each.

3.1 Initial Phase

3.2 Regular Phase

After two days is the start of the Regular Phase of induction. With this phase there would be
regular program to be followed every day.

51
First Year UG Courses Engg. & Tech. Jharkhand University of Technology

3.2.1 Daily Schedule

Some of the activities are on a daily basis, while some others are at specified periods within the
Induction Program. We first show a typical daily timetable.

3.2.2 Afternoon Activities (Non-Daily)

The following five activities are scheduled at different times of the Induction Program, and are
not held daily for everyone:
1. Familiarization to Dept./Branch & Innovations
2. Visits to Local Area
3. Lectures by Eminent People
4. Literary
5. Proficiency Modules
Here is the approximate activity schedule for the afternoons (may be changed to suit local
needs):

52
First Year UG Courses Engg. & Tech. Jharkhand University of Technology

3.3 Closing Phase

3.4 Follow Up after Closure

A question comes up as to what would be the follow up program after the formal 3-week
Induction Program is over? The groups which are formed should function as mentor mentee
network. A student should feel free to approach his faculty mentor or the student guide, when
facing any kind of problem, whether academic or financial or psychological etc. (For every 10
undergraduate first year students, there would be a senior student as a student guide, and for
every 20 students, there would be a faculty mentor.) Such a group should remain for the entire 4-
5 year duration of the stay of the student. Therefore, it would be good to have groups with the
students as well as teachers from the same department/discipline. Here we list some important
suggestions which have come up and which have been experimented with.

3.4.1 Follow Up after Closure – Same Semester

It is suggested that the groups meet with their faculty mentors once a month, within the semester
after the 3-week Induction Program is over. This should be a scheduled meeting shown in the
timetable. (The groups are of course free to meet together on their own more often, for the
student groups to be invited to their faculty mentor’s home for dinner or tea, nature walk, etc.)

3.4.2 Follow Up – Subsequent Semesters

It is extremely important that continuity be maintained in subsequent semesters. It is suggested

that at the start of the subsequent semesters (up to fourth semester), three days be set aside for
three full days of activities related to follow up to Induction Program. The students be shown
inspiring films, do collective art work, and group discussions be conducted. Subsequently, the
groups should meet at least once a month.

53

4 Summary
Engineering institutions were set up to generate well trained manpower in engineering with a
feeling of responsibility towards oneself, one’s family, and society. The incoming undergraduate
students are driven by their parents and society to join engineering without understanding their
own interests and talents. As a result, most students fail to link up with the goals of their own
institution. The graduating student must have values as a human being, and knowledge and met
skills related to his/her profession as an engineer and as a citizen. Most students, who get
demotivated to study engineering or their branch, also lose interest in learning. The Induction
Program is designed to make the newly joined students feel comfortable, sensitize them towards
exploring their academic interests and activities, reducing competition and making them work
for excellence, promote bonding within them, build relations between teachers and students, give
a broader view of life, and building of character. The Universal Human Values component,
which acts as an anchor, develops awareness and sensitivity, feeling of equality, compassion and
oneness, draw attention to society and nature, and character to follow through. It also makes
them reflect on their relationship with their families and extended family in the college (with
hostel staff and others). It also connects students with each other and with teachers so that they
can share any difficulty they might be facing and seek help.
