New Faculty Induction Program

Teaching is an ethically and intellectually demanding profession. New teachers need rigorous

preparation and opportunities for continuous professional development along with academic and professional support. These activities can help new teachers improve their teaching and management skills, adjust to the culture of higher education institutions, and better understand their professional responsibilities.

The New Faculty Induction Program is usually conducted twice a year and it is mandatory for all new faculty members to attend all the sessions.

  • Understand their roles and responsibilities as faculty members
  • Familiarize themselves with the structure, functioning, governance, rules, regulations and professional expectations of the institute
  • Explore pedagogical processes - curriculum, instructional planning, classroom management, use of resources and assessment
