Foundation Programme

IIT Jammu welcomed the 2nd batch of undergraduate students on 10th August 2017. All 103 students were admitted in IIT Jammu with a one week long foundation programme. The programme was designed to initiate creativity with knowledge and to facilitate a comfortable initiation of their life at IIT Jammu.

The programme was inaugurated by Prof. D.P. Aggarwal, Ex chairman UPSC and Prof. Adit Singh from Auburn University. A motivational session from Prof. Aggarwal guided the students to connect with values, ethics and integrity. Prof. Adit Singh's presentation on IIT history and legacy provoked students to realise the purpose and passion behind engineering.

Workshops on sketching, theatre, dance, singing, block painting, yoga and logo designing were conducted to enhance analytical skills, creative potential and boost innovation amongst our students. Daily physical workout with Zumba marked the fun filled and energetic conclusion for each evening.

The new batch of students also visited the existing old campus for a formal interaction with the seniors. Block painting, dance and theatre workshops were conducted there for the students. A stand up comedy show by Mr. Vinay Sharma, an IIT Bombay alumni was organised to mark the closing of the seven day event.
