General Guidelines

Discipline is a pre-requisite for the development of any institution. No example of continuous progress without complete disciplinary spirit can be found anywhere. Keeping this in view the students of Ravindranth Tagore Group Of Colleges are, therefore, expected to maintain a code of conduct as per the mentioned laws and orinances.

GENERAL INFORMATION

  • Every student is issued an identity card by the college immediately after admissions which he/she is expected to carry while in college at all times. Entry to the college shall in no circumstances be allowed without the identity card. Loss of identity card has to be intimated to the college with a copy of FIR (first information report) lodged with the police. A duplicate identity card shall then be issued after payment of both the fee and fine.

Any complaints of sexual harassment will be addressed by this Committee.

Notice Boards

Students should read the Notice Boards regularly for information regarding schedule of classes, examinations, attendance, holidays, activities, fellowships, scholarships and other information to students. Ignorance of any notice will not be accepted as a plea or excuse for delay in any matter.

Contact Details

Students should inform the office immediately, in writing under signature of the parent/guardian, in case of change in residential address and phone numbers. The college will not be responsible for any papers that reach the wrong address in case of non-intimation.

CLASSROOM MISCONDUCT
  1. The teacher has the primary responsibility for control over classroom behavior and the maintenance of academic integrity and can order the temporary removal or exclusion from the classroom of any student engaged in disruptive conduct or conduct violative of the general rules and regulations of the institute. Extended or permanent exclusion can be effected through appropriate procedures of the college.
  2. Plagiarism, cheating, and other forms of academic dishonesty are prohibited.
Attendence Requirements
  1. No candidate shall be eligible to appear the university examinations unless he/she fulfills the minimum attendance requirements. It is, therefore, in the interest of the students to follow attendance rules strictly and attend all classes, tutorials, and practicals if they don’t want to be denied admission tickets(University Roll no. for the final examination)
  2. Applications for leave on medical grounds, countersigned by a parent /guardian and duly supported by a medical certificate, must be submitted within two weeks of returning to College; thereafter such applications shall not be accepted.Attendance record is taken into account as a parameter for awarding scholarships and prizes.The rules for minimum attendance requirements are as follows.
  • In case of science subjects, each student is required to attend at least 2/3 of total lectures delivered and 75% of total practical sessions held during the entire academic year.
  • In case of Honours subjects, the requisite attendance of 2/3 of total lectures delivered shall be required in the main subjects as well as in each of the Subsidiary / Qualifying subjects taken separately
  • In case of B. Sc Programme, 2/3 of lectures shall be required in each of the three science subjects as well as in each of the Qualifying subjects.
  • Attendance records will be put-up on the notice boards after each term. NO STUDENT will be issued the University admission tickets in case he/she is short of attendance.
The College is very strict about attendance. The students are advised to attend classes regularly if they do not want to be denied Admission Ticket (Roll number) for the final examinations. In 2011 we had to deny 31 students permission to appear in the Annual examinations due to shortage of attendance.
