Freshers' Orientation 2015

For students registered in this program:    Leave Application   Feedback/Suggestion

Yesterday (01-08-2015) was the occasion when new batch of students joined our team and we extended them a hearty welcome. The discipline was evident from first day itself as all arrived in time i.e. 5:30 AM after a rain lashed night, with cyclone Komen (Link1, Link2) making its presence felt in IIT Kharagpur campus too. Even then we waited for rain to stop so that we could get started with exercise. 

But, rain didn't stop. And we had to be contented with the good habits of getting up early, arriving in the field in time, being disciplined in our patient waiting with 900 of us present in the Jnan Ghosh stadium shed. Of course, we enjoyed the companionship of our friends and these are one of those occasions when we go out and work together in large number.

The second year members of our team were released early and a brief orientation of freshers started. Program Coordinator, NSO Health and Fitness first introduced Program Officers (faculty members from different Dept.s/Schools who are in-charge of individual units) and Physical Training instructors. Then he talked about the importance given to curricular Extra Academic Activity, even if it has zero credit. He went to explain the benefit of the program, activities around it (regular activities and specual activities) and the way gradation / evaluation is done. The program ended at 6:30 AM.
