Induction Programmes are conducted to welcome new students and familiarize them with the institute, academic programmes, student platforms, support services etc. This programme plays a crucial role in the learning journey of the students.
It provides the programme roadmap about the following:
Clarity on Course Requirements
Academic processes encompass a thorough understanding of course requirements, including assignments, projects, readings, and assessments. Students need to know what is expected of them in terms of coursework to plan their studies effectively.
Navigating Learning Environment
For many students navigating the online platform can be overwhelming. An induction program familiarizes students with the layout, features, and functionalities of the virtual learning environment, ensuring they can efficiently access resources, submit assignments, and engage in discussions.
Understanding Expectations
Clear expectations are essential for student success. During the induction programme, students learn about the course requirements, assessment criteria, academic policies, and deadlines. This clarity helps students manage their time effectively and plan their study schedules accordingly.
Building Community
Distance learning can sometimes feel isolating, but the induction programme provides an opportunity for students to connect with their peers and instructors. Icebreaker activities, group discussions, and collaborative tasks foster a sense of belonging and encourage students to actively participate in the online learning community.
Access to Support Services

The induction programme introduces students to the various support services available, such as technical support, academic direction, e-learning guidance etc. Knowing where to seek help empowers students to overcome obstacles and stay on track with their studies.
By equipping students with the necessary tools, skills, and resources, the induction programme sets them up for academic success. Students learn effective study strategies, time management techniques which help them well throughout their learning journey.
