Anti-Ragging Policy

If found violating these guidelines, students are liable to disciplinary action, including expulsion from the Institute and possible legal action as per the directive from the Honourable Supreme Court of India. 

Institutions under para 6.3 (a & c), BPDC has constituted an Anti-Ragging Committee (ARC) and Anti-Ragging Squad (ARS).
