UGC warns top institutions over anti-ragging violations
The University Grants Commission (UGC) has called out 89 colleges and universities—including big names like IITs, IIMs, and AIIMS—for not following anti-ragging rules.
These institutes failed to submit the required anti-ragging undertakings from students despite several reminders.
Now, they've got 30 days to fix things and prove they're taking student safety seriously.
List includes 17 institutes of national importance
Seventeen Institutes of National Importance made the defaulters' list—think IIT Bombay, IIT Kharagpur, IIM Bombay, AIIMS Raebareli, and more.
Aligarh Muslim University and Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata are also among those flagged.
All have been told to submit detailed reports within a month.
Colleges could face de-recognition
UGC Secretary Prof Manish Joshi put it plainly: ignoring these notices breaks the rules and puts students at risk.
If these colleges don't comply soon, they could lose funding or even face public naming-and-shaming or de-recognition.
The message is clear—student safety comes first, no exceptions.
