“I was in dilemma about selecting an institution to pursue medical degree. After discussing with my teachers, I decided to choose Bangalore Medical College as it has more facilities and skilled doctors. Since it’s a government college, I don’t think there will be any kind of harassment. I don’t mind the pranks or ice-breaking activities of the seniors.

But if things take a serious turn, I will definitely bring them to the notice of the concerned
authorities.”

“I finished PUC at MS Ramaiah Composite PU College and have now joined IIBS for BBM. My classes will commence from mid July. Hence, I am a bit anxious. My college has implemented stringent rules to ensure the safety of freshers. I am quite confident that there won’t be any ragging incidents in my college. So I am relaxed.”

Sriradha Chatterjee, Clarence High School

“I am waiting for my turn in CET counselling which may come soon. As of now, I have thought of opting for Kasturba Medical College to pursue medical course. Though I am not worried about ragging, I am bit conscious and hope there won’t be any kind of teasing on campus. I collected some information about the institution and learnt that there haven’t been any bad incidents over there. Due to anti-ragging laws, the harassment of juniors has been minimised to a large extent.”

Arvind H Manjumani, Sri Bhagawan Mahaveer Jain College

“I know about the college as it is near my house. My cousin had also studied there and I was sure that there won’t be any ragging on campus. My classes started from June 11 and I attended the orientation programme as well. I was a little nervous but also curious and excited about my first day in college. It’s going really well now and I have made many good friends.”

Megha P, Sri Bhagawan Mahaveer Jain College

“My CET counselling will be happening this week and I am eagerly waiting for my turn. I am interested in medicine and will join a well-equipped medical college in the City. More than being nervous, I am eagerly looking forward to mingling with a new bunch of friends. I am not scared of ragging as anti-ragging laws are strictly followed in all institutions. Sometimes, hostellers fall pray to the pranks of seniors. But that’s not the case with day scholars like us.”
