Kolkata: In a bid to ensure students’ safety outside campus in late-night hours, IIT Kharagpur authorities have decided to keep a tab on their movement when they step out and also keep their parents updated accordingly, an official said on Thursday, January 29.
According to the new guidelines issued by the institute, guardians will be informed if a student exits the campus between 10 pm and 6 am.
“They will have to share their destination, purpose of visit and expected time of return, and record their arrival at the campus after the visit, the official said.
IIT Kharagpur director Suman Chakraborty said certain rules and regulations were already in place in case a student would have to leave the campus at late night hours.
“When a student leaves the campus, if they face any situation or accident outside, the responsibility lies with the institute.
