(Vide-Circular No. Msc-25/2003/Genl. dt 23.06.2003, Secretary, MSC Colleges)

“Once students are admitted to an educational institution they are bound by the code of conduct laid down by the educational institutions through the prospectus or college calendar and it is implicit that they should observe the code of conduct necessary for the proper administration and management of the institution.”

(Wa No. 535 of 2003 dt 26 May 2003, Judgement of the Hon'ble High Court of Kerala)

1.      When a student meets a member of the teaching staff of the college within the campus or outside, it is a matter of politeness that he/she should greet him/her.
