Why the undertaking is mandatory

UGC’s guidelines say that, under the second amendment to its regulations, each student and every parent must submit the online undertaking every academic year. Colleges must add a mandatory “Anti-Ragging Undertaking Reference no” column to their admission forms. Many ask for it before they confirm admission or a hostel seat.

Earlier, students downloaded a PDF affidavit, printed it and signed it. The revised procedure replaced that with an email that the student forwards to the college.

Step-by-step online submission

  1. Go to antiragging.in and click Fill Undertaking.
  2. Read the instructions, then choose your institution type: College (affiliated to a university), Standalone Institution (such as a nursing or teacher-training institute) or University (courses run directly by the university).

  4. Fill in Parent / Guardian Details.
  5. Select your college’s state, then your college, then fill in the college and course details.
  6. Tick the confirmations under UGC Regulations. The links to the regulation abstract and the Supreme Court judgment summary are on the form.

  9. Note the reference number shown on screen.
  10. Open the email from antiragging.in with your registration number and forward it to your college’s nodal officer.

Colleges must display the nodal officer’s email and phone number on their website and around campus. Check there, or ask the admission office.

What the student and parent undertakings say

The form produces two documents: the Student’s Anti-Ragging Undertaking and the Parent’s Anti-Ragging Undertaking.

Student

On the online form, you confirm that you have read the UGC regulations and the Supreme Court’s judgment on ragging. You also promise:

  • not to rag anyone or tolerate being ragged;
  • that if you are accused of ragging, the burden is on you to prove you are not guilty;
  • not to stand by as a spectator, and to report ragging to the principal or the helpline.

The undertaking format in the 2009 regulations adds that you accept punishment if found guilty. It also declares that no institution has expelled you or barred you from admission.

Parent or guardian

The parent declares that they have read the law and the regulations, assures that their ward will not rag anyone, and accepts that the ward can be punished if found guilty.

Punishments listed in the regulations

An institution’s anti-ragging committee can impose one or more of these:

  • suspension from classes, or withholding of scholarships and results;
  • suspension or expulsion from the hostel, or cancellation of admission;
  • rustication for 1 to 4 semesters, or expulsion;
  • a fine of ₹25,000 to ₹1 lakh.

Downloading, printing and submitting to the college

To download a copy, click Download Undertaking on antiragging.in and enter your reference number, email and mobile number. Printing is optional under the revised procedure. Still, some colleges ask for a printout or the reference number on their admission form, so follow your college’s instructions.
