Student Induction & Orientation
Students Induction Programme (SIP) Policy
The Students Induction Programme (SIP) introduces the students to their programme of study and the facilities available to them. The objective is to prepare students for their course of study and ensure a smooth transition into college life by familiarising them with the campus, faculty, learning environment, institutional values and student support services.

Objectives

  • The main aim of the programme is to instil the ideas, practices and spirit of the college.
  • To enable the students to understand and have a better relationship with the faculty members for setting the pace of fruitful teaching-learning experiences.
  • To help the students feel comfortable in the new environment and adjust to the customs and practices of the college.
  • To enable the students to become familiar with the amenities and access the intellectual and physical resources of the institution.
  • To raise awareness of college policies and procedures.
  • To provide information about the methods of learning and assessment procedures.
  • To help students review their progress and manage their transition to their present programme.
