MISINFORMATION AND MISTREATMENT OF STUDENTS The college says in the NUST prospectus that civilian students are not required to undergo any sort of military training, but once in the college, they are required to cut their hair in the military style, they have to undergo rigorous exercises, they have to obey military protocol. Failure to comply with these rules affects the students academically. The heads of the colleges are also unpopular due to their two faced scheming ways. The heads often use students to spy on other students. Freshmen are often humiliated and degraded by the seniors in a ritual known as "ragging", which often continues for months, and disobeying a senior is a major offence. A lot of students have left the college due to humiliation and degradation due to ragging. When parents complain to to the head of the college about the harsh discipline policy and ragging at the hands of seniors, they too are humiliated by the heads. STUDENT/FACULTY CONFLICT Since most of the instrustors and lecturers at the college are Army officers, its is advisable not to engage in any sort of conflict with them, as that might result in the lecturer having a vendetta against that student. This has often led to many students being expelled or demoted |
