After many colleges in Chennai, Hydrabad and Mumbai, Magadh University is next in the line to impose a dress code for its students. The proposal came in September when during a surprise visit by MU vice chancellor B N Pandey, it was noticed that students were not dressed "appropriately". At least, so he thought. [Link]
Although, the proposal included a code for the teachers also, it has been kept out of it as of now.
Black trousers and white shirts for boys and white salwar and maroon kurta for girls have been decided as the uniform. The dress code of girls is already in vogue at JD Women's College in Patna.
The dress code will come into being in July 2008. Adding onto the imposition, use of cellphones in college and political meetings or lectures on the campus has also been banned. For the sake of uniformity, each college of the university will now have similar colour signboards at the main entrance points. Besides, photographs of chancellor-cum-governor will adorn the offices in colleges.
