Pre-Departure Orientation Programme


Our M. Tech. and M. S. students are going abroad for their project work and it is the first overseas travel for many of them. So it would be nice if we give them certain guidelines before their travel. Many of you have travelled a lot and have many good and bad experiences. Do you mind in sharing any of these with the students, please?  We really expect that it will be fruitful not only for the students but also for many of the newcomers in our group.

We have received green signal from Prof. Sabu Thomas and Dr. Nandakumar Kalarikkal to proceed with this. കുഞ്ഞനും ഏട്ടനും (Nano and Polymer) ഒരു ചെറിയ ഇടവേള കൊടുക്കൂ. If you have something to share with us, give a short break for your studies/ research and join us this Monday at 1.30 pm. It will be an informal meeting; no welcome, no traditional lamp, no flowers, no vote of thanks...  Please recall your previous travels and see whether you can give them any suggestions/advices regarding any of the following. 

To be remembered:

  1. Before the journey
  2. During the journey
  3. After reaching the destination and during the stay abroad
  4. Before and during the return trip
If you have something to share with us, please make use of the comment option below indicating your advice/tip. You may read the following, if you are interested.
