Day 3 of the Orientation & Induction Program (OIP) 2026–28 continued with engaging and insightful sessions under the theme "AI & Future Skills," equipping students with the mindset, skills, and institutional support required to thrive in an ever-evolving professional landscape.

The afternoon commenced with "Learning to Learn" by Dr. Om Jee Gupta, Centre for Teaching & Learning, where students were introduced to practical strategies for developing lifelong learning habits, strengthening critical thinking, embracing a growth mindset, and enhancing academic excellence. The session encouraged students to become self-directed learners by adopting effective study techniques, reflective practices, and continuous skill development that will serve them well throughout their MBA journey and beyond.

Students actively participated in the session, engaging with thought-provoking discussions on adapting to new technologies, leveraging AI responsibly, and preparing themselves for the future of work. The emphasis on curiosity, adaptability, and continuous learning resonated strongly with the incoming batch, reinforcing the importance of staying relevant in an increasingly dynamic business environment.
