Ragging, in any form, is a reprehensible act which does no good to anyone. Ragging in any form is a punishable offence.
1. Ragging in educational institutions is banned and any one indulging in ragging is likely to be punished appropriately, which may include expulsion from the institution, suspension from the institution or classes for a limited period or fine with a public apology. The punishment may also take the shape of (i) withholding scholarships or other benefits, (ii) debarring from representation in events, (iii) withholding results, (iv) suspension or expulsion from hostel or mess, and the like. If the individuals committing or abetting ragging are not/cannot be identified, collective punishment can be awarded to act as a deterrent.
2. The following will be termed as the act of ragging: any disorderly conduct whether by words spoken or written or by an act, which has the effect of teasing, treating or handling with rudeness any other student(s), indulging in rowdy or indisciplined activities which causes or is likely to cause annoyance, hardship or psychological harm or to raise fear or apprehension thereof in fresher or junior student(s) or asking the student(s) to do any act or perform something, which such student(s) will not do in the ordinary course and which has the effect of causing or generating a sense of shame or embarrassment so as to adversely affect the physique or psyche of a fresher or a junior student.
The anti-ragging campaigns are carried out in the institute campus through banners, posters and by organizing awareness programs. A team consisting of faculty from different departments remains vigilant in all teaching blocks with two fold objectives – to prevent any kind of ragging and interact with the senior students to help curb ragging and report the matter to the Principal.
