Freshers to the B. Tech. course at the Pondicherry Engineering College (PEC) can walk into its portals without fear of being subjected to ragging when classes begin on August 6.
The PEC has warned that ragging would be viewed seriously and students involved in ragging would be arrested according to the stipulated rules and regulations.
The administration has taken all steps to curb the menace of ragging at all levels on the Pondicherry Engineering College campus, D. Govindarajulu, college principal, said.
He has warned that any student found to indulge directly or forcing others to indulge in any form of ragging would be viewed very seriously and action taken immediately to suspend or dismiss the student apart from initiating criminal proceedings as per the law.
“Ragging is a non-bailable offence and is punishable with imprisonment ranging up to two years.
“First year students may feel safe on the PEC campus and parents are requested to advise their wards accordingly,” he said.
