The National Institute of Technology-Puducherry (NIT–PY) organised a music therapy experiential session on Monday as part of its orientation programme for first-year students, aimed at easing their transition from school to college and promoting emotional well-being.

The initiative, introduced in 2024, is the outcome of a Memorandum of Understanding signed between NIT–PY and Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth, Puducherry, on February 5, 2024. Continuing this year, the programme seeks to reduce stress, foster social connections, and help freshers adapt to the new academic environment.
