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 report signed by attending Physician / Surgeon 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 / obstacle 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.

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
All students 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 girl students.

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.
Applicability of Regulations for the time being in force, Disclaimer and Legal Jurisdiction:
In Force
