What sort of a rule is that!!! Arvind, :P This college collects fine in 1000s from students if they are found having cellphones! Divya, The college name need not have been anonymous. But I thought I would let everyone make their own guesses :P Btw, even if Anna Univ relaxed the rules, these colleges won't. Prasad, I see :P Mahesh, I too didn't have a mobile till I started working :) I am not complaining about the banning of mobiles in class rooms. I have a problem only with not letting even the hostelites have it, that too when the college has given only one contact phone no.! Prasad,

In fact in my college they conduct frequect raids (!!!!) to check whether there are any cell phones both in the classes and the hostel as well.. This is really frustrating.. Well I don't mind getting caught using it during class hours.. But banning it completely is ridiculous..

As someone said, the colleges buys lacs and lacs of rupees. They should give atleast some 4 lines for parents to talk to their sons/daughters. And there should be more PCO's, instead of a single one. The main reason could be of camera mobiles, where girls are the ones who are most affected. Maybe the college could ban camera mobiles alone. However, even that's tough because it's hard to check everytime whether it's a camera mobile or a non-camera mobile. Again, nowadays players etc play almost any "stuff" within the mobile. Maybe that's the reason why they don't allow even in hostels. My best solution is that to avoid only in class rooms. However, students break the rules always. In my college, mobile phone was allowed in class. But during class hours, they were to be switched OFF. However, sadly students didn't live up to it. Later, mobiles were banned in my college too. GSM/CDMA jammer is a solution. Coming off to dress codes, formals is the right choice for men and for ladies the traditional salwar is the best. I am sure the present day generations would never approve my comment, but there are many complex intricacies involved in it and it's better to follow that rule. Overall, I like this article very much. I think I have typed enough. My solution is that mobiles could be banned in classrooms. A Jammer could be used in campuses, except hostels. A browsing center/Net cafe could be constructed within the hostel campus without cabins. I like this rule, but banning of mobiles may not be proper.

I have been in such a jail for past 4 yrs... We can't do anything about that... Because these college management are that strict and they follow their own stupid rules, thinking they have really very good rule in their college and it makes the student very much disciplined... how come banning of cell phones bring discipline in colleges..??? hey u came to about this only now???

which is totaly disgusting policy of the college management and it sucks to the core !!

why ain’t the college using the strategy of using GSM /CDMA Jammer while the classes and switch it off when its not need if its intent was to just stop the usage of phones during the classes , and i wonder why anna university itself hasn’t implemented it

And few colleges like mine advocate saying it that they have implemented it even before it was implemented in anna university and take pride in saying so as if it were some webcast of classes or some technical colaboration with some other universties

i’m glad that i have completed my time in a jail which was called as a engineering college for the outside world
