NU (NIIT UNIVERSITY) has conceived, designed and developed a unique university-orientation programme, called Resonance, for fresh students to make the university journey joyous and rewarding. The orientation programme has been running ever since the university started its operations in 2009. Parents too get to participate in the programme on the first day. They get to interact with NU Leadership and raise their concerns. They are taken on a tour of the campus, trek up the the hills at the back and climb into the EAT (Earth Air Tunneling) system – a sustainable, environment friendly campus facilities cooling system.
The NU Induction Programme began on 10th August 2020 for new students joining in the Academic Year 2020-2021. Due to the constraints imposed by the pandemic, entire programme has been redesigned and will be conducted online!
The Induction Programme started with the Head Start Boot Camp (HSBC), a session specially designed for students who have enrolled under the Early Admissions Mode offered by NU. This is the first session that NUtons will undergo in their academic journey. For B.Tech students, the session is titled – PROTHINK – and revolves around ‘Programmatic Thinking’. It is designed to enable problem solving skills using flowcharting as a tool. Focus is on problem decomposition and managing the problem by addressing simple constructs. The tools used are flowcharts and related graphic tools. At the end of the session, fresher NUtons will be able to solve large and complex problems using the techniques learnt.
PROTHINK is conducted by Prof. Eswaran and Prof. Deepika Prakash from the CSE area. Prof. Debashis, Area Director, CSE and Prof. Eswaran also conducted an interesting session – Magic of Numbers – for freshers of both B.Tech and Integrated MBA programmes.
NU RESONANCE 2020 (17th August – 31st August 2020), the induction programme for all fresher NUtons consists of several interesting sessions:
The key objectives of NU's orientation programme for fresh students are:
Resonance 2019
Resonance 2018
Resonance 2017
Resonance 2016
Resonance 2019 began on Friday, July 12th and ends on Saturday, Aug 03rd. A key activity in Resonance 2019 was a workshop specially designed to enable fresh students to draw a roadmap to achieve their life aspiration.
Fresher NUtons underwent a two-day workshop – 'Design My Future' (DMF) as part of NU's Induction programme – Resonance 2019. DMF is a specially designed programme conducted by invited experts.
As part of the workshop, every student undertook a Career Navigator Exercise, a test that allows them to find out the careers they are most suited for.
The students were then taken through as set of group activities designed to increase self-awareness and helping them visualize their careers after graduation.
At the end of the workshop each NUton came up with his/her Career Vision & Purpose and built a roadmap with timeframes to achieve the same.
The Design My Future initiative goes beyond the 2 days of the workshop. It provides individual mentoring to the fresh recruits for the entire 4 year duration at NU. Students will be mentored by NU faculty, CIC (Centre for Industry Collaboration) mentors and external experts with several years of industry experience.
