Acharya Narendra Dev College: Admission 2025, Fees, Courses, Cutoff, Ranking, Placement

Ans. Acharya Narendra Dev College provides various scholarships like Abhinav Halen Scholarship, and the scholarship amount is INR 15,000 for B.Sc. (Hons.) Electronics). In case a student submit forged documents it is considered a serious offense. The Scholarship amount is provided after going through the following procedure:

• ANDC’s Scholarship Committee verifies documents (e.g., income certificates) with issuing authorities (e.g., SDM office). Discrepancies trigger an inquiry.
• The student is summoned for a hearing within 5 days, with evidence presented by the committee.

Students who dare to submit forged documents have to face the penalties and the punishment by the authorities. The penalties faced by the students are:

• Cancellation: Scholarship is revoked, and disbursed funds must be repaid within 15 days.
• Disciplinary Action: Suspension (1–3 months) or rustication, depending on severity. A disciplinary note is added to the student’s record, affecting placements and awards.
• Legal Action: Forgery may lead to an FIR under IPC Section 467 (forgery for cheating).
• In 2023, 2 students were suspended for fake income certificates for the Krishna Toteja Scholarship.

Ans. Acharya Narendra Dev College’s Anti-Ragging Committee follows guidelines prescribed by UGC and DU. Students facing ragging or any other issue related to it may lodge complaints through the email (anti-ragging@andc.du.ac.in) or in person at the Principal’s Office within 48 hours of the incident. Anonymous/random complaints are considered if proper evidence is provided. Then, the Investigation committee, including faculty, a student representative, and an external member (e.g., NGO), investigates within 5 days. Witnesses are interviewed and questioned, and CCTV footage (if available) are reviewed to see if the assault and accusations are true. In case, the accusations prove to be true, then heavy penalties are imposed on the culprit. Minor ragging (e.g., verbal teasing) leads to a warning or suspension (1–2 weeks). Severe cases (e.g., physical ragging) result in rustication, hostel eviction, or FIR under IPC Section 294. The Anti-Ragging Cell promises a resolution within 10–15 days. In 2022, ANDC resolved 3 ragging complaints, with one leading to a 1-month suspension.
