What are the rules and regulations in Women's Christian College?

Thanks for asking. Compared to other colleges in Chennai, the rules here are pretty relaxed. Here are a few of them:

• Dress Code: Avoid wearing see-through clothes, shorts, short skirts, or sleeveless outfits.
• Attendance: You need to maintain at least 85% attendance.
• Internal Assessments: They consider the best score out of three tests.
• Cheating: If you're caught cheating, you'll be banned from all exams for that semester.
• Disciplinary Marks: Any negative marks mean you can't join in college elections.
• Ragging: The college is very strict about ragging and it can lead to expulsion.
• Mobile Phones: Using them on campus can get them taken away.

Tip: Keep your phone hidden from staff or senators!

For my Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, the rules at Women's Christian College focus a lot on discipline and academic integrity. We have to complete a minimum of 40 hours in physical education and are encouraged to participate in various extracurricular activities. They also have a strict attendance policy, and you can’t have any arrears if you want to be eligible for campus placements. Overall, I find that these regulations keep us focused on our studies and help in personal development as students.

In Women's Christian College, the rules and regulations are pretty straightforward. For my Bachelor of Arts in English Literature, we have to maintain a certain attendance percentage, and participation in extracurricular activities is mandatory for first-year students. The college also has specific guidelines regarding conduct, especially since it's an all-girls institution. It's nice because we have a supportive environment, but it can feel a bit strict at times. Overall, the rules help maintain discipline and facilitate a good learning atmosphere.

As a B.Com student, I noticed that the admission process is quite smooth, and you have to fill out an application online. Once you're in, attendance is really important, and they encourage participation in clubs and activities.

For us, there are two internal assessments each semester, and we need to score well in them to pass. The college also has a no-tolerance policy for any form of discrimination, which promotes a healthy environment. So, while there are rules, they contribute positively to our college life.

It's been around 7 years since I graduated from WCC. Just like how older folks don't really like change, the same goes for older colleges. I'm guessing some rules have stuck around, others might have been updated, and a few probably faded away. I was a day scholar, but I had friends who lived in the hostel, so I remember some of their rules too. Here's a rundown of the rules and regulations I recall from my college days (I was quite the rebel, so I often bent or broke them):

We had a no-cellphone rule imposed in my second year, which was quite annoying, but it didn't stop us. Sleeveless tops and shorts were a no-go, but other clothes were okay. You always had to wear your ID card; forgetting it meant a 10-rupee fine at the gate. You couldn't leave campus before 1:15 pm without permission. If you arrived after 8 am, you got fined for being late. I was always late, so I spent a lot of money on this.

If you were more than 10 minutes late to class, you wouldn't get attendance. Less than 75% attendance hit you with a hefty 250-rupee fine per paper at the end of the semester. Bunking classes or cheating in tests, if caught, led to suspension and a black mark for low attendance. Having even one black mark meant you couldn't run in college elections, which I still regret.

Everyone had to attend the general assembly. Day scholars weren't allowed in hostels, but with good friends, you could sneak in. The same went for food, but we didn't always follow that rule. Hostel students had a curfew of 5:30 pm, which seemed unfair, but rules are rules. They had to sign parole, although they found ways to get around it. Staying in college after 5 pm wasn't encouraged for day scholars but wasn't a strict rule. Sitting anywhere on campus other than the library or canteen was also frowned upon.

During election time, no campaigning with posters or promises was allowed. No bags or boxes were permitted inside the exam hall. A fun fact: final-year students had a "rule-breaking day" where you could do whatever you wanted, like wearing sleeveless tops, skipping classes, or ignoring curfews. It was like heaven for a 20-year-old.

Thanks for asking, RASSHMIKA!
