Students were then introduced to several key support teams within the institute. Representatives from Student Services, Ms. Qurratu and Ms. Farrina, provided an overview of the support available to students throughout their time at NIM, including guidance on student welfare and campus resources. An operational briefing by Mr. Nathan of the Operations team then followed, who familiarised students with campus facilities, important procedures, and the rules and regulations on student welfare and campus resources.

Orientation day was more than just an introduction to campus life, it marked the beginning of a new chapter with new friendships, support networks, and a shared sense of belonging within the NIM community.
