Nitte (Deemed to be University) is a part of the Nitte Education Trust which has 36 institutions in its fold spread over three sprawling campuses at Nitte, Mangalore and Bangalore. Nearly 25,000 students study at Nitte Institutions.
The University has attracted students from almost all the states of India as well as from a dozen international destinations. At Nitte University we follow a policy of zero tolerance towards ragging of any form. Students admitted to the fresher courses as well as their parents are given assurances from the respective college administrations that they will be protected from ragging of any kind. The students and their parents are compulsorily made to undertake the anti-ragging affidavits and made to understand the serious offence associated with ragging. Strict instructions are periodically given to the seniors along with constant vigilance and monitoring to ensure that the campus is free of ragging both during the administrative and the non-administrative awareness in sire d the campus, hostels, mess and common areas. Awareness is created among the seniors about the dire consequences of ragging through posters, periodic circulars talks by the heads of the institutions and role plays. The message that is being sent to the seniors at Nitte DU is very clear and loud – that at Nitte DU we have a zero-tolerance policy towards ragging and that very strict punishment will be meted out to the perpetrators of this serious crime, irrespective of their seniority or social standing.

The theme of the competition was “Ragging: A Crime, not a Tradition,” emphasizing the serious nature of ragging and dispelling any misconceptions of it as a harmless tradition. A total of 18 teams including students of undergraduate and postgraduate programs participated in the event, each creating powerful posters that conveyed the message against ragging and its harmful effect on students. The posters were judged and the competition winners will receive the prizes during the fresher’s day to be conducted later this month. All posters prepared by students were displayed on notice boards to further spread the anti-ragging message.
During the institute-specific PG orientation at NUCSER on 16th August, students were informed about the anti-ragging policies and the legal consequences of engaging in ragging. They were also encouraged to report any instances of ragging and contribute to a safe and inclusive academic environment. In addition, online affidavits which the students filled were verified.
