The courses facilitated by Art@IITGN will enable students to acquire skills, knowledge, and experiences for living in interconnected contexts, so they can contribute to making life better for others, themselves, and the world around them. The General Education programme encompasses the breadth of knowledge involving the major intellectual and aesthetic skills and achievements of humanity.

This includes an understanding and appreciation of the pluralistic nature of knowledge epitomized by the natural sciences, quantitative skills, social and behavioral sciences, humanities, and arts. To achieve and share such an understanding and appreciation, skills in self-expression, qualitative analysis, information literacy, and collaborative interaction are necessary.

Our courses are designed to help students in developing intellectual curiosity, a strengthened ability to think, and a deeper sense of aesthetic appreciation. General Education, in essence, aims to cultivate a knowledgeable, informed, literate human being.
