This policy is designed to safeguard students’ wellbeing and uphold the institution’s values.

Raw food items

Among the banned items are raw food products. The university discourages students from bringing raw food to campus, as cooking is not permitted in hostels. This rule ensures safety and prevents fire hazards that could arise from cooking equipment.
