Anti-Ragging

The UGC anti ragging regulation of 2009 is fully recognized and supported at SSLA. In case of a complaint regarding ragging, anti-ragging committee is in place for approach. In case of an official complaint regarding ragging filed at institute level, this committee would conduct inquiry and take appropriate action.

What Constitutes Ragging:

Any conduct by a student or students whether by words spoken or written or by act which has the effect of teasing, treating or handling with rudeness a fresher or any other student
Indulging in rowdy or indisciplined activities by a student or students which causes or is likely to cause annoyance, hardship, physical or psychological harm or to raise fear or apprehension thereof in any fresher or any other student
Asking any student to do any act which such student will not, in the ordinary course, do and which has the effect of causing or generating a sense of shame, or torment or embarrassment so as to adversely affect the physique or psyche of such fresher or any other student
Any act by a senior student that prevents, disrupts or disturbs the regular academic activity of any other student or a fresher
Exploiting the service of a fresher or any other student for completing the academic tasks assigned to an individual or a group of students
Any act of financial extortion or forceful expenditure burden put on a fresher or any other student by students
Any act of physical abuse including all variants of it: sexual abuse, homosexual assaults, stripping, forcing obscene and lewd acts, gestures, causing bodily harm or any other danger to health or person
Any act or abuse by spoken words, email, post, public insults which would also include deriving perverted pleasure, vicarious or sadistic thrill from activity or passively participating in the discomfiture to fresher or any other student
Any act that affects the mental health and self- confidence of a fresher or any other student with or without an intent to derive a sadistic pleasure or showing off power, authority or superiority by a student over any fresher or any other student.

Mentoring Cell

The student mentoring programme at SSLA ensures a smooth adjustment and acclimatization process for the new students.This programme involves one senior student volunteer who is incharge of six new students. These volunteers help newcomers in familiarizing themselves to the new environment. It is overlooked by the senior faculty members at SSLA.

Anti Ragging Squad

The Anti-Ragging Squad is a committee devoted to maintaining the harmony between the students of the college. Not only are they involved in looking out for and preventing what traditionally constitutes ragging, they also take up the task of constantly coming up with better notions of what ragging involves, trying to involve the subtleties of the same. They run frequent campaigns to raise awareness about the necessity to report and thus put an end to all forms of ragging. They can be easily approached with any queries or complaints.

Gender Committee at SSLA

Curriculum Development Committee Academic Year 2021-22

The Symbiosis School for Liberals Arts (SSLA) is an organization which prides itself on the strength of its academic curriculum. The teaching pedagogy and academic freedom given to faculty at our institute is reflected in the manner in which courses are created and conducted. To ensure that faculty are personally invested in the programme and enjoy the teaching experience, they are given autonomy over the designing structuring and execution of the courses they teach.

However, it is imperative that this freedom is monitored and guided by the vision and ideology of the institution. In this regard we have constituted a curriculum development committee. This committee will guide and assist faculty to create and develop academically rigorous and relevant courses.

This committee will consist of 6 members including the Director of SSLA, internal faculty & industry experts. We are pleased to have the following members on the Curriculum Development Committee for the Academic Year 2021-22:

As a member of this committee you would be expected to perform the following duties:

Regularly attend meetings of this committee.
Review courses submitted.
Suggest changes / improvements.
Give any other suggestions to improve the general teaching and learning environment at SSLA.
