Orientation 2014

The orientation of first year students was held today at V2 auditorium of IIT Kharagpur. About 500 new students joined the program this year. NSS Program Coordinator using power-point slides explained the aim and scope of NSS activities, in reference to work carried out by 15 different units in 18 villages and slums. Since in IIT Kharagpur this is treated as curricular program, the orientation also dwelt on how evaluation is done, how grade is arrived at and the consequence of poor grades. In the Q & A session, all queries of students like annual camp, dress code, conveyance, leave rule were addressed. At the end of this one hour orientation that started at 9 AM, the freshers interacted with unit faculty / senior students of respective units and proceeded to respective villages. The following video is recorded at the orientation. We add few pictures too.
