Students will be encouraged to explore many forms of art and engage in other enrichment activities, with a focus on cooperation and community service.

The foundation programme at IIT Gandhinagar has a broad range of sessions and workshops in its curriculum. 

Students will be immersed in exercises in conflict resolution through theatre-based experiences, explore the world of making organic paint, and delve into the worlds of free and open-source software (FOSS) and digital privacy to understand their significance in our world of rapidly changing technology. 

In addition, they will participate in workshops on game development with a focus on social entrepreneurship, gender sensitization training, mental health counselling, science experiments, calligraphy lessons, cooking classes, culinary arts exploration, personality reading, and engaging in sports and cultural activities.

IIT Gandhinagar hopes to develop well-rounded individuals who not only have a broad variety of soft skills and hobbies, but also a wide range of technical knowledge by incorporating these many events and workshops into the foundation program. This method is anticipated to better enable students to face challenges in the real world and contribute to society in constructive ways.

As the students begin their journey at IIT Gandhinagar, the institution is dedicated to offering a nurturing atmosphere that encourages them to explore their talents and passions while fostering a sense of responsibility towards the community and the wider world.
