Ragging is strictly prohibited at NITRA Technical Campus.
As per the UGC Regulations, 2009 [Under Section 26(1)(g) of the UGC Act, 1956], any form of ragging is a punishable offence. Students found guilty—either by directly participating, aiding, or passively supporting ragging—shall face strict disciplinary and legal action.
What Constitutes Ragging ?
Ragging encompasses a range of unacceptable behaviors and is considered a grave offence at NITRA Technical Campus. It includes, but is not limited to, verbal or physical harassment of freshers or students through teasing, rude behavior, or mocking. Acts of rowdy or disruptive behavior that cause annoyance, fear, or psychological and physical harm to others are also classified as ragging. Forcing students to perform acts that are demeaning, embarrassing, or psychologically harmful, and interfering with their academic activities, further constitute serious violations. Using juniors or freshers to complete assignments or carry out menial tasks, engaging in financial extortion, or pressuring them to spend money unwillingly are strictly prohibited. Physical abuse, including sexual or indecent behavior, inappropriate gestures, or threats to health, is treated with utmost seriousness. Additionally, verbal abuse, cyber abuse through emails or online posts, and any act of public or private humiliation are considered ragging. Any actions that undermine the mental health or self-confidence of a student fall under this category. Whether such behavior is committed openly or in secrecy, with or without sadistic intent, it is treated as a serious breach of conduct and will attract stringent disciplinary and legal consequences.
