NIT Karnataka (NITK) welcomes the 2026–2030 undergraduate batch through an induction programme, introducing a curriculum designed around what both outlets describe as the needs of the “AI age.” The programme begins for new students as part of the institute’s efforts to shape early academic and skill development.

Both reports say the induction places emphasis on life skills and innovation alongside the new curriculum approach. The outlets describe the induction as centering on skills development rather than only traditional classroom orientation, with activities framed around preparing students for emerging technologies and changing industry expectations. While neither source highlights detailed course-by-course changes, they broadly align on the programme’s priorities and timing.

Across coverage, the main difference is phrasing and the framing of the curriculum: one outlet names the batch as “2026–30” and the other as “2026–2030,” while both consistently focus on the same themes—life skills and innovation—as the guiding elements of the intake and induction.
