Guidelines regarding Induction Programme for the new students
(As per Model Curriculum for 1st Year UG degrees courses in Engineering & Technology,
November 2017)
To be followed from the 2018-19 academic session

Preamble: Engineering education has evolved globally in a continuous manner to address the twin needs of
industry and society. It is now an accepted fact that the institutions imparting technical education should
aspire to create manpower who will possess strong technical knowledge and skill, have leadership qualities
and be a team player, capable of coming up with innovative solutions and be alive to societal and
community concerns.
The aim of the Induction Programme is to acclimatize the students to the environment of their engineering
institution, give them a flavour of the exciting new world of education that they are entering, provide them
with mentoring schemes, and make them aware of their neighbourhood, society and people. This will allow
them to evolve as well rounded individuals.
The following schedule is laid down by the University to implement the three week long Induction
Programme:

Week 1 1st Half Day 1 Overall introduction of the new students to the
Institution, its different Departments & Faculty
Members

2nd Half Day 1 (a) Assignment of faculty mentors to the new

students
(b) Assessment and allotment for mentoring by
senior students preferably from the second year
2 hrs Day 2, 3, 4, 5 Lectures by eminent personalities on different areas
such as (a) Introduction to Engineering (b) Various
topics of science and technology
 and to prepare a report on the same

2hrs Participation in Games, Sports, Yoga, Creative arts etc.

Week 3 2hrs Scheduled class lectures as per time table

Day 1 Visits to neighbourhood locations

Day 2 Visits to natural spots in adjoining areas to understand

the effect of nature on society

Day 3 Visits to Science Museum / laboratories

Day 4

Day 5 Visits to NGOs

Any other activity, as deemed fit by the Director/Principal of the affiliated Colleges, may be proposed and
discussed with the Academic Coordinator of the University, by sending email to the following address:
[email protected].

Note: 1) If necessary, networking may be established with NGOs to facilitate the different components and
aspects of the Induction Programme.

Notice

Mandatory Additional Requirement for earning B.Tech Degree

Addressing the needs of the industry and the society: Globally, engineering education
systems have continuously evolved, in order to address the needs of the industry and
the society. It is becoming imperative that every University should create opportunities for the
students to inculcate attributes, which are not restricted only to engineering knowledge and
acumen. Industry needs professionals who can work successfully in teams, who have
leadership qualities, who are alive to social and community needs and who can bring
innovation and creativity to their work and who are also digitally proficient. Hence, in order to
prepare its students to match these multiple requirements, MAKAUT,WB has created a unique
mechanism of awarding 100 Activity Points over and above the academic grades. It is planned
that the students at MAKAUT,WB will be able to reap benefits from these activities at their
own pace and comfort. It is expected that by the time MAKAUT,WB's students reach their
Final Year, they would have developed themselves so well both through their studies in the
respective technological field and through their active participation in the co-curricular and
extra-curricular activities as also through SAWYAM based learning activities that they would
be well-prepared for contributing to building the India and the world of their dreams.

The additional requirement applies to: Every student, who is admitted to the 4 years B.Tech
