Actions Recommended by UGC Against Students Involved in or Encouraging Ragging:

Punishments for those involved in ragging must be exemplary and appropriately severe to serve as a deterrent against future occurrences. Students found guilty of ragging should be barred from gaining admission to any technical institution in India. For every instance of ragging, institutional authorities must file a First Information Report (FIR) with the local police without exception. Depending on the severity and nature of the offense, as determined by the institution’s Anti-Ragging Committee, the possible punishments for those found guilty of ragging may include one or a combination of the following measures.

• Cancellation of admission.

• Suspension from attending classes.

• Withholding or withdrawing scholarships, fellowships, and other benefits.

• Debarring from appearing in any tests, examinations, or other evaluation processes.

• Withholding of results.

• Prohibition from representing the institution in any regional, national, or international events, including meets, tournaments, and youth festivals.

• Suspension or expulsion from the hostel.

• Rustication from the institution for a period ranging from one to four semesters.

• Expulsion from the institution, with consequent barring from admission to any other institution.

• A fine of Rs. 25,000/-.

• Collective punishment: If the individuals committing or abetting the crime of ragging are not identified, the institution shall implement collective punishment to apply community pressure on potential offenders.

• Institutional authorities must report incidents of ragging and the actions taken to the Council immediately after such incidents occur, and provide updates on the status of the cases from time to time.

• Courts should prioritize cases involving ragging to convey the message that ragging is to be both discouraged and dealt with sternly.
