Transition from school to college life is one of the most challenging events in a students’ life. When new students enter an institution, they come with diverse thoughts, backgrounds and preparations. They come into a new unfamiliar environment, and many of them have little knowledge of a college. An important task, therefore, is to welcome new students to Higher Education and prepare them for their new role.
Aarambh’21-Journey to explore, Student Induction Programme organised Baba Farid College of Engineering and Technology for all the new entrants to get familiarized with campus life. It is an introduction to college life; the academic programmes, the co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, the student life in the college, the outreach programmes and everything that will support and effectively prepare the graduates and postgraduates to meet the demands of their programs, and eventually for the world of work and life. Through the induction, every student will be accompanied to understand that all the above activities are derived from the vision and mission of the Institution.
Students Induction could cover a number of different aspects (SAGE):
- Socializing : meeting other new students, senior students, students’ union, lectures by Eminent People
- Associating : visits to college, visits to Dept./ Programme of study & Important places on campus, local area, city and so on
- Governing : rules and regulations, student support etc
- Experiencing : Subject lectures, study skills, small-group activities, physical activity, creative and performing arts, literary activities, universal human values, etc.
From day one, the college encourages students to disclose their needs and seek appropriate help through student mentoring system towards a bright future with the support of every stakeholder.
True to its vision, through Student Induction Programme, BFCET, ensures that every moment of the students’ life in the campus adds up to their holistic and integrated learning and wellbeing.
