IIT Kharagpur has introduced graded fines for students who consume alcohol on campus or engage in brawls.
IIT Kharagpur announced that students found consuming alcohol on campus will be fined ₹5,000 for the first offence and ₹10,000 for subsequent offences.
Parents will be informed in both instances. If a student is found guilty more than twice, the case will be referred to a disciplinary committee, which will recommend “appropriate punishment”, and a minimum penalty of ₹50,000.
