They could allow both but you see, people at the higher authorities are such peverts that they cant bear it, no offence.

WHERE IS DEMOCRACY........FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

[blueshift]

dress code is ok but why ban mobiles?

[Sykora]

People use them during class to message each other.

[__Virus__]

Crap.. full of crap.. ok agreed with dress code thing cos we learn .. dont ask guys to be in formals and gals to be in sarees/ u will end up fcukin urself... mobiles banned?? have ppl gone insane? what are we suppose to use to film mms's huh!!! :D well silent mode in classes is very very sensible but ban....... *yawns*

[eagle_y2j]

dress code is really gud idea small step to stop vulgarity in education and public place but mobile walla is anti-tech

[ilugd]

stop vulgarity??

Don't the student have enough common sense and discretion to make their own decisions? If the administration thinks that dress rules have to be enforced, rather than inculcating in them the sense to make the right decision, i hate to think what their standard of education in the subjects they teach are. And Mobiles!! My God! You don't need a goddamn rule for that. Even a moron knows that you are not supposed to use the mobile during a class. The problem is that the professors are unable to earn respect.

What next? Will they ban specs because the principal doesnt like students wearing cooling glasses? ban computers because students are watching porn?

As bush said once, "I know what is good for you. I make the decisions"

Bull****! this is just talibanism.

[Sykora]

i hate to think what their standard of education in the subjects they teach are.
*sigh* You and me both.

Even a moron knows that you are not supposed to use the mobile during a class.
But they do. Don't ask me why.

The problem is that the professors are unable to earn respect.
How can they? First they have to earn their teaching credentials. Then comes respect. They haven't gotten past step one yet.

Will they ban specs because the principal doesnt like students wearing cooling glasses?
Yup.

ban computers because students are watching porn?
They'll confiscate them, take them (the laptops) to their offices and watch it during the lunch break.

Anna univ is supposed to be where engineers are born. And the cellphone IMO is one of the best examples of brilliant engineering. So, it's like the univ is encouraging students to not use what they learn/create. I agree with the rest of you, the ban is stupid. As for dress codes, nobody attends lectures dressed in mini-skirts so that's stupid too.

[Sykora]

There are _many_ kids who use cellphones in class for messaging each other in class instead of concentrating on the class itself. I think the ban is a good idea, but is too strict. What I mean is, they should perhaps not ban phones from being brought to college, but rather have them deposited at the beginning of class and picked up at the end of each class. There is no reason why phones shouldn't be used during breaks. There are very good reasons why they shouldn't be used in class.

As for the dress code, evidently it is done for the "safety of the female students", or so the official story goes.

i am from tamil nadu, guys and frankly i am ashamed to say that tamil nadu is going the meerut way.

I don't know how many of u are from the university ( I am in my final year , anna university ) . Our VC is well known among the students for his indecent behaviours in stages ( like scolding stud's bfore cheif guests , etc) and he often gets nose cuts ( like the thing happend in last yr kalakrithi - where he faces scores of insults ) . It is no doubt for us that he will act like this when he took responsibility .
The dress code thing is purely aimed at girls , that too of the Industrial Biotech genre womens who don't know there are varieties exist beyond jeans and tight T-Shirts .
Regarding Mobile Ban , the ban is there and nobody seems to obey it . Still we are messaging in classes , amidst repeated raids .
VC is gone nuts when he ban that in hostels too . The high pt is banning computers in ac tech hostels ( they retreat later).
There are more . No film music in college culturals . No film personalities to enter the premises . In his room there are almost two set of costly mobile phones for him and a apple laptop which i bet he never knew to operate.
i feel pity for our juniours , who needs to spend the next two yrs with him .

[dheeraj_kumar]

juniors? feel pity for ME!!! my college starts tomorrow and i've gotta cope with the hitler's rules for FOUR F***ING YEARS!!!

i'm in a college where mobile phone ban is pretty lax, and staff do not care if i am having phones if i do not use them during classes.

in my college, the seniors advice us to follow the rules for about 2 months, and then we can even wear reebok shoes if we want(my college wants black shoes YUCK!!!)

Is he Mr.B guruswamy?author of C/C++ books etc

[QwertyManiac]

Heck, thats not all
Heres a gross output of my rule list

1. No talking to girls, even on the bus back home. [So if she gets down along with ya, you're lucky :p]
2. Dress code - Shirts, Pants and Shoes. No casuals whatsoever. Half shirts are allowed for me though some other colleges have banned it too and added ties along :o
3. No mobiles, any kind. [It was printed in red :lol:]
4. We got different staircases and routes for boys and girls, no entering the girls way or the girls entering the boys way to go to a destination.
5. I havent read it more but I guess lappies and other gadgets arent allowed as well...

Ah the joys of studying in one of the top colleges... all telugu over that and they run away if I speak in english *sigh*

Anyone wanna trade places with me? :D

[Vyasram]

Is he Mr.B guruswamy?author of C/C++ books etc

no he retired. now itzz a moron named V1$#w4n4t#4n

@qwerty-- that's my school

[Sykora]

I had my first day of college at Anna University. The ban isn't all that stringent, ie they aren't too keen on enforcing it. Kids are using phones in droves and nobody cares.

[QwertyManiac]

@qwerty-- that's my schoolYou studied in a coed and still had those bans ? :o

[Vyasram]

no, actually i'm studying. and they have those bans except the first one

They dont know abt the TEENS!!! they are much interested to do the things which the managment says Dont!!!! BEWARE!!!

[freakanomics]

Theres no problem on the dress code....that makes no place for vulgarity in the campus......mobile phones mustn't be banned in the campus......but its ok if they r prohibited in the classrooms.........

[xenkatesh]

Using mobile phones is class rooms is not that good.. according to me.. either its the Student or the Lecturer.. i think most of the students are not using mobile in classrooms..
