The Department of Applied Sciences at CEC-CGC Landran successfully integrated innovative pedagogical approaches during the Student Induction Programme, emphasizing active learning strategies to enhance student engagement and comprehension. The department orchestrated collaborative "Think-Pair-Share" sessions on 22nd & 24th July, 2025 for new B.Tech students of all branches, enabling new students to deliberate individually on already learnt academic concepts before engaging in peer discussions and subsequently sharing insights with the class. Additionally, structured "One Minute Reflection" exercises were implemented, providing students with dedicated intervals for introspective analysis. These evidence-based learning methodologies were strategically designed to cultivate critical thinking capabilities, foster collaborative learning environments, and promote metacognitive awareness among first-year students, thereby establishing a robust foundation for their academic trajectory and ensuring seamless transition into higher education practices.
