Statutory Warning

Ragging of any student is a criminal offence and stringent measures have to be taken for curbing the menace of ragging in educational institutions. KCMT administration is very conscious of its responsibilities in this regard and students and parents need not harbour undue apprehensions, and should report any incident immediately to the university authorities. “If any incident of ragging comes to the notice of the authority, the concerned student shall be given liberty to explain and if his explanation is not found satisfactory, the authority would expel him from the institution.” Any students facing any problem in this regard should immediately report the matter to the Anti- ragging Committee constituted in the college.

Armed with strict orders from the Supreme Court and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to constitute monitoring committees to prevent ragging, the engineering colleges are leaving no stone unturned to prevent ragging, since last few years.

Further, we look forward to your continuing support in this direction for the coming session as well as years to come. Today, the ragging has become synonym with teasing, terror, harassment, cruelty, fear and physical and mental torture and abuse of human rights of fresher, which are resulting in numerous unavoidable deaths, suicides, group clashes/conflicts and large number of fresher dropouts.
