How has Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering DSCE changed since the incident involving Meghana Chandrashekar? Is ragging an issue?

Before I dive into answering this, I find it interesting that you're an ex-Aloysius student and curious about this. Keep in mind that not everything shown on TV is accurate, especially on Kannada channels, as their main goal is high viewership for profit, often ignoring student privacy by not blurring faces. If you're thinking about joining DSCE, don't let this incident cloud your judgment. It's a solid college with strict rules in place.

How can you just trust the media reports about that incident? I'm really surprised you're asking about it. The media often exaggerates things for higher ratings. What they showed wasn't accurate. It’s like when something sweet attracts a lot of flies.

According to the Karnataka state anti-ragging commission, ragging is prohibited in all engineering colleges, including DSCE. What you heard about wasn’t actually ragging. From what I know, it was simply an internal conflict that tragically led to her losing her life. She was a first-year student, but I’m not sure which branch. She was in the E section and was teased over some minor issues by other groups at college and on her class WhatsApp group. Sadly, she was mentally not strong enough to handle it. The group kept teasing her until she became very upset and stressed.

She spoke to her parents about the teasing, and they tried to comfort her, and she decided to return to college. However, one day, the teasing escalated into a heated argument. They removed her from the WhatsApp group when she asked questions about exams. This made her feel very unstable, and she couldn’t handle all the problems, leading her to make a tragic decision.

After this incident, the college took strong measures against ragging and any internal conflicts or quarrels. Each class now has proctors responsible for the students, their academics, and any issues they might have. If a student misbehaves on campus, their ID card is taken by security, and the committee might call their parents.

When choosing a college, it's important not to focus only on impressive buildings and high grades. Look for places that value learning, culture, and character. Be someone who treats others kindly and genuinely. Keep the Meghana Chandrashekar incident in mind when considering this college, and remember that there are plenty of other great colleges out there.
