About Students Grievances Redressal

Grievance Redressal Cell

The Grievance Redressal Cell has been set up to address and resolve student grievances effectively. Students can file their complaints either in writing to the Principal/coordinator using the Suggestion Box or electronically through the Grievance Form on the College Website. The cell will meet as necessary to review and address the issues raised.

Students can bring forward concerns related to academic matters, financial issues, health services, library services, and other central facilities. Complaints may be submitted via the 'Suggestion Box' or made verbally, and both will be reviewed. This system aims to improve stakeholder relations and overall satisfaction. All proceedings of the Grievance Redressal Cell are treated with strict confidentiality.
