The main objective is to asses the initial capability and standard of all the students and their familiarity
with the English language and to normalize entry-level differences as stated in the Programme for
Foundation.
Over and above this, the programme is meant to assess the capabilities of those students who are not quite
comfortable with the nuances of speaking and writing English. The foundation programme aims at
identifying such students and providing them special guidance right from the Foundation to Term III.
We plan to take students through exercises which will help them build basic spoken and written skills,
vocabulary and critical reading skills which in turn should build confidence and belief in self.
