Disciplin & Code of Conduct

As per policy on discipline, a student enrolled in CASE assumes an obligation to conduct him/herself in a manner compatible with the Institute's function. Actions considered inimical to the Institute and subject to discipline fall into the categories of academic and nonacademic misconduct. The Student Code of Conduct clearly defines these expectations and outlines the adjudication process. The purpose of the Student Code of Conduct is to educate all members of the CASE community and to maintain an environment conducive to academic excellence.

If there is a complaint of unprofessional conduct regarding a student, the Registrar office can suspend the student immediately and refer the case to the Disciplinary Committee.

Disciplinary Committee is responsible for maintaining discipline in the Institute. The committee includes President and his direct reports and any relevant faculty members who may be called to form a panel to discuss a disciplinary issue. When a case is referred to the committee, it conducts a detailed investigation including the statement of the concerned student(s), which guides its course of action.
