[edit] Disciplinary Measures in PESIT: Infraction Slips

PESIT is the first among engineering colleges to enforce a disciplinary measure that issues infraction slips to students. Depending on the magnitude of the offense, the slips can be 'minor, 'major', or 'severe'. The slips will be in triplicate. One copy will be handed over to the student, the second to the parents and the third will be kept in the relevant college department with details entered against the student’s name in the code of conduct register. The rules and regulations are available for reference in the library, departments and website of the college. Once a student is suspended, a disciplinary committee will review his/her behaviour. The student will have the right of appeal against his suspension. In extreme cases, the committee can withhold the marks card and certificates of the student.
