The Institute places a very high emphasis on discipline of students both inside and outside the campus. Students must abide by the Institute and  Hostel rules  and  agree to  conform to the  rules and regulations enforced  from  time to time.  They  must not do  anything either inside  or  outside the Institute that will interfere with its orderly governance, discipline and  image. Students must attend lectures, tutorials and practical classes  regularly.  A minimum  attendance  of  75% in lectures, tutorials and sessionals for each subject is essential for appearing in the Semester Examinations. Thus, students should  attend all theory and  laboratory classes from  the first day of the academic year. In case  of absence due  to unavoidable circumstances, students are  advised to take prior  permission from  the Dean  / Head. In case  of absence due  to illness, students will have to produce a  Medical Certificate with an  application from  their parents or  guardians. In such  a case, parents/guardians or Hostel Warden should inform the  authorities immediately.  Students should strike a proper balance between extracurricular activities and academic requirements. A student’s participation in extra-curricular activities should not be allowed to interfere in his/her academic schedule.

During teaching hours, the main lobby, the library, the corridors of the Institute and the area surrounding the Institute are to be observed as silence zones. Students must not cause any disturbance in these zones. Students must not indulge in any kind of misconduct or indiscipline or anti-social activities within or outside the campus. Students must not form a group causing any hindrance to the academic and  administrative activities of the College. Those  found  doing  so will be punished and strict disciplinary action will be taken by the  authorities.  Students shall  not damage the property of the Institute. Cost of such damage will be recovered from students, parents/guardians of the students.

Students must always carry their Identity Card and produce it on request.  In  case  of  loss  or damage of Identity Card, the concerned authorities should be informed immediately.

Students are not permitted to enter and use the laboratory / workshop / sports ground if they do not wear  appropriate dress. For example, they should  enter the laboratory only with apron, cap or mask as instructed. Students should park their cycles in an orderly manner at  the cycle  stands. Students should follow the rules of the Hostel Mess / Canteen. Students are advised to read the Notice Boards regularly.

Students are strictly prohibited from possessing or consuming  spirits,  tobacco  products  and narcotic drugs either within or outside the campus, and if found violating this will be rusticated immediately, without warning.

Ragging in any form inside or outside the campus is strictly prohibited by law. Any students found ragging other students will be summarily expelled from the  Institute  and  dealt  with  as  per  the directive of Hon. Supreme Court/Hon. High Court.

Each student must read the “UGC Regulations on Curbing the Menace of Ragging in Higher Educational Institutions, 2009” on the UGC website. Each student admitted to any of the Institute’s programs must submit the two completed affidavits [one from candidate  and  one from parents] at the time of admission.

Hostel

Hostel facilities are provided only at Mesra & Patna Campuses. All students admitted at Mesra and Patna Campuses are  required to reside in  one  of  the Institute hostels, to which  they are  allotted and must take food along  with  other inmates of  the hostel in  the common  mess.  There  are separate hostels for girls’ students.

Medical

All selected students will be required to undergo medical examination by a Medical Officer of the Institute and their admission is subject to being found medically fit for the Program. Therefore, candidates, for their own satisfaction, are advised to get themselves examined by a  registered medical practitioner.

The Institute at Mesra is located in a spacious green campus. There are small forests with a large number of trees – mostly sal trees which  are  native to Chotanagpur. These  sal trees and  a number of other trees and plants have their flowering season during mid-February to early April, and this sometimes leads to a large pollen content in the air. It has been noted that some people who are allergic or susceptible to pollen from these sal trees / other plants may develop some  health problems / breathing problems or  their existing problems may  be  aggravated during  these weeks, as also  during  some  other months of the year  when  other plants flower. Thus, such  candidates who are  known  to be  sensitive or susceptible to pollen  from  trees or other plants are  required to get allergy tests done / take advice from their physicians / a specialist before taking admission at Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, Ranchi.
