FRESHERS

“Every great artist started as an amateur.”
When a person enters a new university or institution, he/she is likely to face a whirlwind of emotions. We at IIT Kanpur completely understand these emotional pangs and aim to help our freshers in the best way possible.
For this, the Media and Cultural Council organises a Freshers’ Night gala within a month of them joining the institute, so as to help them in transforming these negative feelings and emotions into something that is more productive and leads to their erudition.
The Freshers’ Nite also marks the very initial association between the freshers and the club. This event plays a chief role in establishing and uniting the freshers with the clubs that they are interested in. It furnishes a window of opportunity for the freshmen to interact with the sophomores and other seniors to enhance their skills. It provides budding artists with a perfect platform to exhibit their flair. The gala event includes performances of all the clubs that come under the council. In fact, it is the freshers themselves who are the charioteers of the event. The Freshers’ Nite provides the perfect opportunity for the new students to feel more confident, and exposure to the various clubs and societies that the council endorses.
The event is highly applauded for the way it aims to blend the freshers with their seniors, and also amongst themselves. It is reviewed to be a highly holistic experience, both by the audience as well as the freshmen. The event is received by a highly enthusiastic audience; and has an astonishingly wide reach
