Pre Term Program of Batch 2015-17 An air of apprehension floated amongst the students of the new PGDM batch (2015-17). There were several questions in the minds of students such as “Will I get adjusted to the new study environment?”, “Will I make any friend in the two years?”, “Whom should I approach to clear my doubts?, etc. To address all student related queries, FIIB carefully designed a two week orientation program, known as ‘Pre-Term Program, was organized for its new students. Pre Term Program serves as a transition into academic and social life at FIIB. Through the quality and integrity of induction sessions during the two week Program, students built the skills necessary to effectively perform and succeed in future group activities in the 2 year Study Program. The Pre Term Program provided the students with the following:
Information and opportunity to students to explore academic success strategies Ability to function smoothly within FIIB Community Ability to understand the advantages and challenges of a diverse campus community Integrated social support system and a sense of connectedness within the FIIB community
Industry Interaction Session
Glimpses
