Orientation

Orientation sessions are held at the start of each year to provide a friendly welcome to all new students. With students drawn from not only India but other parts of the world, it’s unusual for students to know anyone else before they arrive. The orientation sessions are held to help students get to know each other, introduce you to the place, find your way around campus, meet your teachers, and just generally settle in.
