IIT-Bombay students to be fined everytime they forget ID card
In a fresh notification, the IIT-Bombay has announced that every time a student forgets to carry his/her ID card while entering or exiting the campus, he/she will be fined Rs. 200. Earlier, gate guards would mostly let students off with a warning when they forget ID cards, or would cross-check their roll numbers with their photos in the database.
According to an article in Insight, the student magazine, "It's not just about ensuring that only students, faculty and authorized persons enter the institute premises." "If (students) meet with an untoward incident, there would be no way for anyone to identify the person involved." Sources said the money collected through fines will be used for miscellaneous work, like funding the Student Wellness Centre.
