Objective of the Practice:

• To create a robust orientation program with an engaging curriculum and enable the students

to connect with Faculty members, Campus Administration and all the others involved in their

campus lives. Bridge Courses are conducted to brush-up their academics and build various
key competencies.

• To provide an engaging experience with a well-balanced session plan, which thrives on

augmenting academic learning along with activities or sessions weaved around encouraging
team building, personal effectiveness, leadership skills, goal setting and various other

collaborative sessions

The Actual Practice:

The program is an engaging and learning oriented expansive program spanned across three
and half weeks. The Compass Program encompasses various programs mapped against the

SAGE Model (Socializing, Associating, Governing and Experiencing) and K-D-B Framework
(Knowing, Doing and Being). There are 46 unique courses plugged for our students traversing

across 73 sessions planned for each student across the Compass Orientation Program. During

the Orientation Program, students have an immersive learning experience from knowing each
other through team building activities, Jigsaw Puzzle, Bridge courses, Expert Guest Sessions,

Special Courses by Senior Faculty members, Article Reviews, Alumni Connect and a fun filled

satisfying trip to Singapore as part of Compass Program. The learning methodology adopted
during the Compass Program is experiential with a focus on the application of concepts,

interactive lectures, case study analysis, classroom projects and exercises, class simulations
and games, group presentations, analysis of contemporary articles from referred journals,

external expert sessions and activity labs.

Outcome:

• Encourages student teams to successfully solve creatively designed, unstructured challenges
• Creates Awareness on Importance of Research

• Enhances reviewing and analytical abilities

• Exposes students to a variety of views and approaches of authors of articles
