Anti-Ragging

Admission in Nandha Engineering College, a reputed institution, brings lots of happiness to the students and their families. The college starts on 3rd week of August every year. Ragging is a custom in the professional colleges and university campuses in our country. Nandha Engineering College has always taken adequate measures for prevention and control of ragging every year. And the ragging in the campus is probably minimum among any of the colleges. However, due to the ugly incidences of ragging in other colleges in Delhi and the rest of the country appearing in the newspapers and media there is anxiety and fear among the freshers and their family members. The college would like to alleviate this fear and anxiety and provide a conducive environment for learning during the initial period of the course. Following the Honorable Supreme Court’s direction, we aim to make Nandha Engineering College a ragging free campus.
