360 Degree (360D) Club

The 360D club proposes to engage the UG students in their early years in the learning environment that provides 360-degree approach to education. The faculty members from all basic science departments (Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Earth and Environmental Sciences and Mathematics) will mentor the club. The grand challenge will try to unify the knowledge acquired by the students under one umbrella and will help students in connecting the dots.


The club will focus on the first and second year undergraduate students and will help them orient towards their discipline of interest in the major years and will be open to all the first year UG students of the institute.


  • To start with, a few grand challenges that encompass many disciplines to promote the idea of interdisciplinary research among them.
  • Initial orientation and regular discussion sessions by faculty members and students will be organized to work towards these grand challenges.
  • Students will also be encouraged to come up with questions that they would like to pursue.
  • The faculty-volunteers will facilitate the process and mentor the students to realize their projects.
