Ragging-Free Campus
The Adamas University campus is a ragging-free campus. A number of anti-ragging measures are in place to ensure strict compliance.
Ragging
Students will refrain from ragging of any kind. Those who violate this rule will be instantly suspended from the University, the halls of residence or the hostel for a period of one week. The matter will be placed before the Anti-Ragging Committee, which will review the incident of ragging and take action, according to the due process of law. Students must note that ragging results in their dismissal from the University.
We would also like to draw the attention of students to the judgement of the Honourable Supreme Court of India, wherein it is mandatory for the institution to file a complaint with the Police, and all resulting consequences as per The Circular of the Education Department, Government of West Bengal, on Prohibition of Ragging in Colleges and Hostel.
