SILCHAR: Fifteen students of National Institute of Technology (NIT), Silchar, all belonging to the 5th semester, will face punishment for their involvement in ragging inside the institute.
Informing this to TOI, NIT Silchar director N V Deshpande on Thursday said the punishment to be meted out will be exemplary and justifiably harsh to act as a deterrent against recurrence of such incidents. While 4 out of 15 accused students will be suspended, the rest would have to pay a fine of Rs 5,000 each and will be disqualified from appearing in campus selection tests.
The decision to take action against the erring students has been taken at a high-level meeting held at NIT near here on Thursday afternoon. Although Deshpande stopped short of spelling out the nature of punishment to be meted out to the erring students, sources said while four students will face suspension from this institute of national importance, others will be asked to leave the NIT hostel.
Over the last one week, at least 50 3rd semester students of the institute were ragged by their seniors - all belonging to the 5th semester - in the hostel. However, this came to light only after the victims wrote to the joint secretary to the ministry of human resource development and technical director of all NITs, New Delhi, without informing this to the director of NIT, Silchar or other local authorities. This created a flutter in the institute and Deshpande was swift in taking action against the accused.
