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
A 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 and the report of its pilot implementation were discussed
and the program was accepted for all IITs, 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.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.
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.
Curriculum & Evaluation Scheme AG (I & II semester) Page 44
 REVISED FIRST YEAR SYLLABUS 2020-21
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 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 dont‟s, 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.
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, 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 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

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.

3.4 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 (upto 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.
4 Summaries
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 we are aware that there are advantages in mixing
the students from different depts. However, in mixing, it is our experience that the continuity of the group together
with the faculty mentor breaks down soon after. Therefore, the groups be from the same dept. but hostel wings have
the mixed students from different depts. For example, the hostel room allotment should be in alphabetical order
irrespective of dept. 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.
