Anti-Ragging Cell
Ragging is a punishable offence
Ragging in any form is strictly prohibited at Akhil Bharti Group of Institutes. It is a criminal offence and a violation of human dignity, and the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India has directed every institution of higher education to curb it.
The Anti-Ragging Committee and Anti-Ragging Squad work throughout the year to keep the campus, hostels and transport safe for every student. Awareness drives are held before each new session, and senior students are counselled on the consequences of ragging.
At the time of admission, every student and their parent/guardian must submit an anti-ragging undertaking. A student found guilty of ragging will face strict disciplinary action, including cancellation of admission.
