What counts as ragging
Under UGC Regulations, 2009, ragging is not limited to physical assault. Any act that causes a fresher shame, torment, embarrassment or an apprehension of harm is ragging.
Verbal & written
Teasing, rude treatment, indecent remarks, forced recitation or slogans directed at a junior.
Coercive acts
Forcing a student to perform tasks, run errands, surrender money or do another’s academic work.
Exclusion & humiliation
Public humiliation, isolation from peers, or acts that hurt the dignity of a student.
Cyber ragging
Harassment through messaging groups, calls, morphed images or social media posts.
Prevention first, punishment when needed
The committee's first duty is to make ragging socially unthinkable on this campus. Enforcement exists, and is used, but it is the last line — not the strategy.
- Every fresher and her parent sign the mandatory anti-ragging affidavit at admission.
- Seniors sign an undertaking of good conduct before hostel and lab allotment.
- Structured senior–junior mentoring replaces informal 'interaction' rituals.
- Faculty mentors meet assigned freshers fortnightly through the first semester.
Senior–junior mentoring circles held in the first six weeks of every academic year.

Squads are mobile, unannounced and reach the places where ragging historically happens — not just classrooms.

Squad presence at arrival and dispersal hours, including college bus queues.
Corridors & staircases
CCTV-covered common areas monitored by the security supervisor and reviewed weekly.
Canteen & recreation zones

What students ask most
Straight answers to the concerns that stop students from reporting.
Will the accused student know who complained?
Complaints are handled with sensitivity and confidentiality. Information is shared only when necessary for a fair inquiry and in accordance with applicable rules.
Can I complain about something that happened off campus?
Yes. If an incident involving students is connected to ragging or affects student safety and dignity, you can report it to the college for appropriate guidance and action.
What if I am not the victim but I saw it happen?
You can still report what you witnessed. A timely report from a witness can help the college respond quickly and support the student concerned.
Does a complaint affect my attendance or exams?
Reporting a concern should not be a reason to disadvantage a student academically. The college can guide you on support available during the complaint process.
