After high school, moving to college is the most anticipated phase in the life of a student. One prominent point of comparison between college life & school life that everyone would agree with is; college gives a sense of freedom to students. In school, students follow the instruction of teachers & parents, but, in college, one likes to take charge of his/her life.
Well, with freedom, comes responsibility. This is the one life lesson that colleges aim to inculcate in students apart from course work. Through various training & programmes, the college administration indirectly teaches students to become responsible for their life.
However, the first step that a college takes towards this is through the induction programme. Yes, the day that most students believe makes no sense. Well, it does. It is so important that the education ministry of India has made it mandatory. In this blog, we will tell you all the reasons why it holds a lot of importance for a fresher.
1. Life Lessons For The Future : Induction programs usually have a session from experts who can impart life lessons. Listening to someone with experience of life can fill students with enthusiasm & energy to take-on this new step of life.
2. Add-On Information : Colleges offer a variety of additional courses that are mentioned in the brochure, but, are generally ignored by the students. During an induction program, the faculty introduces these add-on programs that students can join. These courses can include English speaking certification course or public speaking courses as well!
3. Familiarization With Department : As a student, you will spend 2-5 years of your life as part of a specific department in the college. Getting acquainted with department heads in-advance can be very vital for students. Getting to know who the professors are, where will classes be held, at what timings, and where the laboratories are can ensure that you do not enter college at day one with a blank mind!
4. Meet Your Mates : To enter a class with friends on day one of college can be a blissful feeling. An induction program can help you meet & interact with all your batch mates and make friends.
5. Extra-Curricular Activities : Every College or University offers extra-curricular activities like NSS, NCC, Sports, & Cultural affairs. During an induction program, the students are introduced to all these activities that the institute offers. One can choose to join any of these based on interest. Students cannot join something that interests him/her until he/she knows that the institute offers that particular activity!
6. Know The Scholarships Offered : Many institutes offer meritorious students scholarships for higher studies. Students aspiring to plan their studies abroad with universities that have collaboration with their institute can gain these scholarships with their outstanding performance. During the induction program, the college familiarizes students with all such opportunities.
7. Know The Exam Pattern & Marking Scheme : Each institute has a different exam pattern & marking scheme. During the induction program, students can get information about the aspect that matters the most during college – Exams. With this information, students can plan their studies in the best way!
