MESSAGE
The quality of technical education depends on many factors but largely on- outcome based
socially and industrially relevant curriculum, good quality motivated faculty, teaching learning
process, effective industry internship and evaluation of students based on desired outcomes.
Therefore, it was imperative that a Model Curriculum be prepared by best experts from
academia and industry, keeping in view the latest industry trends and market requirements
and be made available to all universities / board of technical education and engineering
institutions in the country. AICTE constituted team of experts to prepare the model curriculum
of UG Degree Course in Civil Engineering. Similar exercise is done for other UG, Diploma and
PG level in engineering, MBA, PGDM, Architecture, etc.
It comprises of basic science and engineering courses, having focus on fundamentals,
significant discipline level courses and ample electives both from the disciplines and cross
disciplines including emerging areas all within a cumulative structure of 160 credits. Summer
Internships have been embedded to make the student understand the industry requirements
and have hands on experience. Virtual Labs has been introduced for few experiments. Also,
most courses have been mapped to its equivalent SWAYAM/NPTEL Course to offer an
alternative for learning that course online from SWAYAM. These features will allow students
to develop a problem-solving approach to face the challenges in the future and develop
outcome based learning approach.
As a major initiative by AICTE, a three-week mandatory induction program for students has
also been designed and has to be given at the beginning of the course. The idea behind this is
to make the students feel comfortable in their new environment, open them up, set a healthy
daily routine, develop awareness, sensitivity and understanding of the self, people around
them, society at large, and nature.
AICTE places on record, special thanks to efforts of the members of the working group and
other committee members. We are sure that this Model Curriculum will help to enhance not
just the employability skills but will also enable youngsters to become job creators.
We strongly urge the institutions / universities / boards of technical education in India to
adopt this Model Curriculum at the earliest. This is a suggestive curriculum and the concerned
university / institution / board should build on and exercise flexibility in readjustment of
courses within the overall 168 credits.

PREFACE
Taking cognizance of growing concern about quality of technical education in India, AICTE in
its 49th council meeting held on 14.03.2017 approved a package of measures for improving
quality of technical education - Revision of Curriculum, Mandatory Internship, and Student
Induction Program were amongst the few.
AICTE constituted committee of academia industry experts to prepare model curriculum of UG
Course in Civil Engineering. During the development of curriculum, the employability and
employment opportunities for graduates, future ready workforce who will be skilled enough
to handle the rapid growth in the field of Civil Engineering were kept in mind.
AICTE has introduced mandatory internship in the new curriculum which will equip the
students with practical understanding and training about industry practices in a suitable
industry or organization. In the course of development of model curriculum, the committee
took feedback of industry experts on the draft curriculum and accordingly modified the draft
before finalization. This exercise has ensured that essential emphasis on industry
requirements and market trends, employability and problem solving approach is given.
After due deliberations, the scheme and syllabus have been formulated. Salient features of this
model curriculum are enumerated as under:
 Reduced number of credits.
 Introduction of Student Induction Program.
 Well defined learning objectives & outcomes for each course.
 Inclusion of courses on socially relevant topics.
 Built-in flexibility to the students in terms of professional elective and open elective
courses.
 Mandatory internship to equip the students with practical knowledge and provide
them exposure to real time industrial environments.
 Virtual Labs.
 Mapping of Courses to its equivalent NPTEL/SWAYAM Course.
 Course on ‘Entrepreneurship and Startups’ to encourage entrepreneurial mindset.
 Introduction of Design Thinking and Universal Human Value course.
I gratefully acknowledge the time and efforts of the members of the working group and other
committee members.
Special thanks to Prof. Prof. T. G. Sitharam, Chairman; Dr. Abhay Jere, Vice-Chairman; and Prof.
Rajive Kumar, Member Secretary, AICTE who all have been instrumental and encouraging
throughout the process of development of this model curriculum.
I appreciate the dedication put by the Dr. Dinesh Singh, Director (P&AP), Sh, Vamsi Krishnan,
Deputy Director (P&AP), Mr. Rakesh Kumar Pandit, Young Professional (P&AP); and other
office staff of AICTE.

Universal Human Values-II
HSM - 02 Universal Human Values-II: 2L:1T:0P 3 Credits

Understanding Harmony And
Ethical Human Conduct
Pre-requisites: None. Universal Human Values 1 (Desirable)
COURSES ON HUMAN VALUES
During the Induction Program, students would get an initial exposure to human values through
Universal Human Values-I. This exposure is to be augmented by this compulsory full semester
foundation course.
Objectives of UHV-II Course

This introductory course input is intended:
1. To help the students appreciate the essential complementarily between 'VALUES' and 'SKILLS' to
ensure sustained happiness and prosperity which are the core aspirations of all human beings.To
facilitate the development of a Holistic perspective among students towards life and profession as
well as towards happiness and prosperity based on a correct understanding of the Human reality and
the rest of existence. Such a holistic perspective forms the basis of Universal Human Values and
movement towards value- based living in a natural way.
2. To highlight plausible implications of such a Holistic understanding in terms of ethical human

conduct, trustful and mutually fulfilling human behavior and mutually enriching interaction with
Nature.
Thus, this course is intended to provide a much-needed orientational input in value education to the
young enquiring minds.
Salient Features of the Course

The salient features of this course are:
1. It presents a universal approach to value education by developing the right understanding of reality
(i.e. a worldview of the reality “as it is”) through the process of self-exploration.
2. The whole course is presented in the form of a dialogue whereby a set of proposals about various
aspects of the reality are presented and the students are encouraged to self-explore the proposals by
verifying them on the basis of their natural acceptance within oneself and validate experientially in
living.
3. The prime focus throughout the course is toward affecting a qualitative transformation in the life of
the student rather than just a transfer of information.
4. While introducing the holistic worldview and its implications, a critical appraisal of the prevailing
notions is also made to enable the students discern the difference on their own right.
Course Methodology
1. The methodology of this course is explorational and thus universally adaptable. It involves a
systematic and rational study of the human being vis-à-vis the rest of existence.
2. The course is in the form of 28 lectures (discussions) and 14 practice sessions.
100
3. It is free from any dogma or value prescriptions.

4. It is a process of self-investigation and self-exploration, and not of giving sermons. Whatever is
found as truth or reality is stated as a proposal and the students are facilitated to verify it in their
own right, based on their Natural Acceptance and subsequent Experiential Validation – the whole
existence is the lab and every activity is a source of reflection.
5. This process of self-exploration takes the form of a dialogue between the teacher and the students to
begin with, and then to continue within the student in every activity, leading to continuous self-
evolution.
6. This self-exploration also enables them to critically evaluate their pre-conditionings and present
beliefs.
COURSE TOPICS
The course has 28 lectures and 14 tutorials in 5 modules. The lectures and tutorials are of 01- hour
duration. Tutorial sessions are to be used to explore and practice what has been proposed during the
lecture sessions.
The Teacher’s Manual provides the outline for lectures as well as practice sessions. The teacher is
expected to present the issues to be discussed as propositions and encourage the students to have a
dialogue.
The syllabus for the lectures and practice sessions is given below:
Module 1 – Introduction to Value Education (6 lectures and 3 tutorials for practice session)
Lecture 1: Right Understanding, Relationship and Physical Facility (Holistic Development and the
Role of Education)
Lecture 2: Understanding Value Education
Tutorial 1: Practice Session PS1 Sharing about Oneself
Lecture 3: Self-exploration as the Process for Value Education
Lecture 4: Continuous Happiness and Prosperity – the Basic Human Aspirations
Tutorial 2: Practice Session PS2 Exploring Human Consciousness
Lecture 5: Happiness and Prosperity – Current Scenario
Lecture 6: Method to Fulfill the Basic Human Aspirations
Tutorial 3: Practice Session PS3 Exploring Natural Acceptance
Expected outcome:
The students start exploring themselves: get comfortable with each other and with the teacher; they start
appreciating the need and relevance for the course.
The students start finding that technical education without study of human values can generate more
problems than solutions. They also start feeling that lack of understanding of human values is the root
cause of most of the present-day problems; and a sustained solution could emerge only through
understanding of value-based living. Any solution brought out through fear, temptation of dogma will not
be sustainable.
The students are able to see that verification on the basic of natural acceptance and experiential validation
through living is the only way to verify right or wrong, and referring to any external source like text or
instrument or any other person cannot enable them to verify with authenticity; it will only develop
assumptions.
The students are able to see that their practice in living is not in harmony with their natural acceptance
101
most of the time, and all they need to do is to refer to their natural acceptance to overcome this
disharmony.
The students are able to see that lack of right understanding leading to lack of relationship is the major
cause of problems in their family and not the lack of physical facility in most of the cases, while they have
given higher priority to earning of physical facility in their life giving less value to or even ignoring
relationships and not being aware that right understanding is the most important requirement for any
human being.
Module 2 – Harmony in the Human Being (6 lectures and 3 tutorials for practice session)
Lecture 7: Understanding Human being as the Co-existence of the Self and the Body
Lecture 8: Distinguishing between the Needs of the Self and the Body
Tutorial 4: Practice Session PS4 Exploring the difference of Needs of Self and Body
Lecture 9: The Body as an Instrument of the Self

Lecture 10: Understanding Harmony in the Self
Tutorial 5: Practice Session PS5 Exploring Sources of Imagination in the Self
Lecture 11: Harmony of the Self with the Body

Lecture 12: Programme to ensure self-regulation and Health
Tutorial 6: Practice Session PS6 Exploring Harmony of Self with the Body
Expected outcome:
The students are able to see that they can enlist their desires and the desires are not vague. Also they are
able to relate their desires to ‘I’ and ‘Body’ distinctly. If any desire appears related to both, they are able to
see that the feeling is related to I while the physical facility is related to the body. They are also able to see
that ‘I’ and Body are two realities, and most of their desires are related to ‘I’ and not body, while their
efforts are mostly centered on the fulfilment of the needs of the body assuming that it will meet the needs
of ‘I’ too.
The students are able to see that all physical facility they are required for a limited time in a limited
quantity. Also, they are able to see that in case of feelings, they want continuity of the naturally acceptable
feelings and they do not want feelings which are not naturally acceptable even for a single moment.
The students are able to see that activities like understanding, desire, though and selection are the activities
of ‘I’ only the activities like breathing, palpitation of different parts of the body are fully the activities of
the body with the acceptance of ‘I’ while the activities they do withtheir sense organs like hearing through
ears, seeing through eyes, sensing through touch, tasting through tongue and smelling through nose or the
activities they do with their work organs like hands, legs etc. are such activities that require the
participation of both ‘I’ and body.
The students become aware of their activities of ‘I’ and start finding their focus of attention at different
moments. Also they are able to see that most of their desires are coming from outside (through
preconditioning or sensation) and are not based on their natural acceptance
The students are able to list down activities related to proper upkeep of the body and practice them in their
daily routine. They are also able to appreciate the plants wildly growing in and around the campus which
can be beneficial in curing different diseases.

Module 3 – Harmony in the Family and Society (6 lectures and 3 tutorials for practice session)
Lecture 13: Harmony in the Family – the Basic Unit of Human Interaction
Lecture 14: 'Trust' – the Foundational Value in Relationship
Tutorial 7: Practice Session PS7 Exploring the Feeling of Trust

Lecture 15: 'Respect' – as the Right Evaluation
Tutorial 8: Practice Session PS8 Exploring the Feeling of Respect

Lecture 16: Other Feelings, Justice in Human-to-Human Relationship Lecture 17:
Understanding Harmony in the Society
Lecture 18: Vision for the Universal Human Order
Tutorial 9: Practice Session PS9 Exploring Systems to fulfil Human Goal
Expected outcome:
The students are able to note that the natural acceptance (intention) is always for living in harmony, only
competence is lacking! We generally evaluate ourselves on the basis of our intention and others on the
basis of their competence! We seldom look at our competence and others’ intention as a result we
conclude that I am a good person and other is a bad person.
The students are able to see that respect is right evaluation, and only right evaluation leads to fulfilment in
relationship. Many present problems in the society are an outcome of differentiation (lack of
understanding of respect), like gender biasness, generation gap, caste conflicts, class struggle, dominations
through power play, communal violence, clash of isms and so on so forth. All these problems can be
solved by realizing that the other is like me as he has the same natural acceptance, potential and program
to ensure a happy and prosperous life for them and for others through he may have different body,
physical facility or beliefs.
The students are able to use their creativity for education children. The students are able to see that they
can play a role in providing value education for children. They are able to put in simple words the issues
that are essential to understand for children and comprehensible to them. The students are able to develop
an outline of holistic model for social science and compare it with the existing model.
Module 4 – Harmony in the Nature/Existence (4 lectures and 2 tutorials for practice session)
Lecture 19: Understanding Harmony in the Nature

Lecture 20: Interconnectedness, self-regulation and Mutual Fulfilment among the Four Orders of
Nature
Tutorial 10: Practice Session PS10 Exploring the Four Orders of Nature
Lecture 21: Realizing Existence as Co-existence at All Levels
Lecture 22: The Holistic Perception of Harmony in Existence
Tutorial 11: Practice Session PS11 Exploring Co-existence in Existence
Expected outcome:
The students are able to differentiate between the characteristics and activities of different orders and
study the mutual fulfilment among them. They are also able to see that human being s are not fulfilling to
103
other orders today and need to take appropriate steps to ensure right participation (in terms of nurturing,
protection and right utilization) in the nature.
The students feel confident that they can understand the whole existence; nothing is a mystery in this
existence. They are also able to see the interconnectedness in the nature, and point out how different
courses of study relate to the different units and levels. Also, they are able to make out how these courses
can be made appropriate and holistic.

Engineering/Management/any other area of study to ensure mutual fulfilment.
E.g. mutually enriching production system with rest of nature.
The students are able to sincerely evaluate the course and share with their friends. They are also able to
suggest measures to make the course more effective and relevant. They are also able to make use of their
understanding in the course for the happy and prosperous family and society.
Guidelines and Content for Practice Sessions (Tutorials)

PS13 Exploring Humanistic Models in Education
PS14 Exploring Steps of Transition towards Universal Human Order
As an example, PS 7 is a practice session in module 3 regarding trust. It is explained below:

PS 7: Form small groups in the class and in that group initiate dialogue and ask the eight questions related
to trust. The eight questions are:
1a. Do I want to make myself happy? 1b. Am I able to make myself always happy?
2a. Do I want to make the other happy? 2b. Am I able to make the other always happy?
3a. Does the other want to make him happy? 3b. Is the other able to make him always happy?
4a. Does the other want to make me happy? 4b. Is the other able to make me always happy?
Intention (Natural Acceptance) Competence
What is the answer? What is the answer?
Let each student answer the questions for himself/herself and everyone else. Discuss the difference
between intention and competence. Observe whether you evaluate your intention and competence as
well as the others’ intention and competence.
Expected outcome of PS 7: The students are able to see that the first four questions are related to our
Natural Acceptance i.e. intention and the next four to our Competence. They are able to note that the
intention is always correct, only competence is lacking! We generally evaluate ourselves on the basis of
our intention and others on the basis of their competence! We seldom look at our competence and others’
intention, as a result we conclude that I am a good person and other is a bad person.

MODE OF CONDUCT (L-T-P-C 2-1-0-3)
Lecture hours are to be used for interactive discussion, placing the proposals about the topics at hand and
motivating students to reflect, explore and verify them.
Tutorial hours are to be used for practice sessions.
While analysing and discussing the topic, the faculty mentor’s role is in pointing to essential elements to
help in sorting them out from the surface elements. In other words, help the students explore the
important or critical elements.
In the discussions, particularly during practice sessions (tutorials), the mentor encourages the student to
connect with one’s own self and do self-observation, self-reflection and self- exploration.
Scenarios may be used to initiate discussion. The student is encouraged to take up” ordinary” situations
rather than” extra-ordinary” situations. Such observations and their analyses are shared and discussed
with other students and faculty mentor, in a group sitting.
Tutorials (experiments or practical) are important for the course. The difference is that the laboratory is
everyday life, and practical are how you behave and work in real life. Depending on the nature of topics,
worksheets, home assignment and/or activity are included. The practice sessions (tutorials) would also
provide support to a student in performing actions commensurate to his/her beliefs. It is intended that this
would lead to development of commitment, namely behaving and working based on basic human values.
It is recommended that this content be placed before the student as it is, in the form of a basic foundation
course, without including anything else or excluding any part of this content. Additional content may be
offered in separate, higher courses.
This course is to be taught by faculty from every teaching department.

Teacher preparation with a minimum exposure to at least one 8-day Faculty Development
Program on Universal Human Values is deemed essential.
SUGGESTED ASSESSMENT:
This is a compulsory credit course. The assessment is to provide a fair state of development of the
student, so participation in classroom discussions, self-assessment, peer assessment etc. will be used in
evaluation.
Example:
Assessment by faculty mentor: 10 marks Self-
assessment: 10 marks
Assessment by peers: 10 marks
Socially relevant project/Group Activities/Assignments: 20 marks Semester End
106
Examination: 50 marks
The overall pass percentage is 40%. In case the student fails, he/she must repeat the course.
OUTCOME OF THE COURSE:

By the end of the course, students are expected to become more aware of themselves, and their
surroundings (family, society, nature); they would become more responsible in life, and in handling
problems with sustainable solutions, while keeping human relationships and human nature in mind.
They would have better critical ability. They would also become sensitive to their commitment towards
what they have understood (human values, human relationship and human society). It is hoped that they
would be able to apply what they have learnt to their own self in different day-to-day settings in real life,
at least a beginning would be made in this direction.
Therefore, the course and further follow up is expected to positively impact common graduate attributes
like:
1. Holistic vision of life
2. Socially responsible behaviour
3. Environmentally responsible work
4. Ethical human conduct
5. Having Competence and Capabilities for Maintaining Health and Hygiene
6. Appreciation and aspiration for excellence (merit) and gratitude for all
This is only an introductory foundational input. It would be desirable to follow it up by
a) Faculty-student or mentor-mentee programs throughout their time with the institution
b) Higher level courses on human values in every aspect of living.

Mechanics of Solids
ESC06 Mechanics of Solids 3L:0T:2P 4 credits
Prerequisites: (i) Physics 1, both modules
(ii) Mathematics course with ordinary differential equations
The objective of this Course is to introduce to continuum mechanics and material modelling of
engineering materials based on first energy principles: deformation and strain; momentum
balance, stress and stress states; elasticity and elasticity bounds; plasticity and yield design. The
overarching theme is a unified mechanistic language using thermodynamics, which allows
understanding, modelling and design of a large range of engineering materials. The subject of
mechanics of materials involves analytical methods for determining the strength, stiffness
(deformation characteristics), and stability of the various members in a structural system. The
behaviour of a member depends not only on the fundamental laws that govern the equilibrium
of forces, but also on the mechanical characteristics of the material. These mechanical
characteristics come from the laboratory, where materials are tested under accurately known
forces and their behaviour is carefully observed and measured. For this reason, mechanics of
materials is a blended science of experiment and Newtonian postulates of analytical mechanics.

Appendix – C: 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 2016.1 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.
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.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
1A Committee of IIT Directors was setup in the 152nd Meeting of IIT Directors on 6th September 2015 at IIT Patna,
on how to motivate undergraduate students at IITs towards studies, and to develop verbal ability. The Committee
submitted its report on 19th January 2016. It was considered at the 153rd Meeting of all IIT Directors at IIT Mandi
on 26 March 2016, and the accepted report came out on 31 March 2016. The Induction Program was an important
recommendation, and its pilot was implemented by three IITs, namely, IIT(BHU), IIT Mandi and IIT Patna in July
2016. At the 50th meeting of the Council of IITs on 23 August 2016, recommendation on the Induction Program
214
and the report of its pilot implementation were discussed and the program was accepted for all IITs .
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.2
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.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
2Induction Program as described here borrows from three programs running earlier at different institutions: (1)
Foundation Program running at IIT Gandhinagar since July 2011, (2) Human Values course running at IIIT
Hyderabad since July 2005, and (3) Counselling Service or mentorship running at several IITs for many decades.
Contribution of each one is described next.
IIT Gandhinagar was the first IIT to recognize and implement a special 5-week Foundation Program for the
incoming 1st year UG students. It took a bold step that the normal classes would start only after the five week
period. It involved activities such as games, art, etc., and also science and other creative workshops and lectures by
resource persons from outside.
IIIT Hyderabad was the first one to implement a compulsory course on Human Values. Under it, classes were held
by faculty through discussions in small groups of students, rather than in lecture mode. Moreover, faculty from all
departments got involved in conducting the group discussions under the course. The content is non-sectarian, and
the mode is dialogical rather than sermonising or lecturing. Faculty were trained beforehand, to conduct these
discussions and to guide students on issues of life.
Counselling at some of the IITs involves setting up mentor-mentee network under which 1st year students would be
divided into small groups, each assigned a senior student as a student guide, and a faculty member as a mentor.
Thus, a new student gets connected to a faculty member as well as a senior student, to whom he/she could go to in
case of any difficulty whether psychological, financial, academic, or otherwise.
The Induction Program defined here amalgamates all the three into an integrated whole, which leads to its high
effectiveness in terms of building physical activity, creativity, bonding, and character. It develops sensitivity
towards self and one’s relationships, builds awareness about others and society beyond the individual, and also in
bonding with their own batch-mates and a senior student besides a faculty member.
Scaling up the above amalgamation to an intake batch of 1000 plus students was done at IIT(BHU), Varanasi
215
starting from July 2016.

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 choose 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.
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.3
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.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
3The 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, NIT Raipur in late 1990s as a
compulsory one-week off campus program. The courses at IIT(BHU) which started from July 2014, are taken and
216
developed from two compulsory courses at IIIT Hyderabad first introduced in July 2005.
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.
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. Schedule
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.

3.2.2. 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):

days, in case needed.
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/discipline4.
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
219
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.
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 meta- 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.
