General Code of Conduct for Students

Rule and regulations at our institutes are set to provide students with guidelines of expected behaviour. These guidelines are set not only to teach children to respect themselves, but also to respect others. When a child misbehaves or acts inappropriately, redirection, distraction and/or firm limit setting is used in the first hand. Calming downtime is used if the misbehaviour continues. We practice a positive approach to discipline.

• The students should strictly obey the instructions given by the Principal and Teacher from time to time.
• The students should carry an identity card with them regularly and it should be produced if demanded by authority of the college.
• Students should be regular and punctual in attending the classes and practical’s. The students are required to submit their assignments in the time failing which they shall be subjected to disciplinary action.
• The college expects 100% attendance for the theory & practical sessions. Some relaxation is possible to extend of 10% on valid grounds and with prior permission of the principal. However, in no case, the attendance should be less than 75% separately for theory and practicals otherwise they shall be detained from appearing for university exams.
• The students will not be allowed to appear for I / II / III sessional examinations if they fail to maintain 75% attendance in each theory & practical separately. This attendance will be calculated from day one i.e. opening date of the college. No excuses of any sort will be entertained.
• The attendance for all three sessional of theory & practical’s conducted by the college is compulsory.
• Ragging in any form within or outside the college and hostels is totally banned. When brought to the notice, defaulter will be summarily expelled from the college.
• Internal evaluation of the subject, may not be permitted to appear for the University examination
• If the students are found weak in certain subjects they will have to attend extra classes as notified and make the required progress to come at par with the other students.
• The students should read the notice displayed on the notice board regularly and the college will not be responsible for the loss of any advantage due to the negligence of reading the notice by the students.
• Smoking or chewing gum, gutkha, pan in the premises is strictly prohibited.
• The use of electronic communication device like mobile phone, pager are strictly prohibited in the college.
• The students should not involve in any such activity which may cause damage to the college property. It will be viewed seriously and is likely to result in the recovery of the cost of damage.
• Students are bounded by rules and regulations framed by the college from time to time. Any violation of the rules shall result in disciplinary action which may lead to dismissal from the college.
• The above rules of discipline are subjected to changes or modifications. These modifications can be done whenever the Principal deems it fit & proper. The decision of the Principal shall be final and binding on the students.
• Notice board and the institutional website are the only authorized media of communication with the students and others.

Code of Conduct for Students in Laboratory

• Conduct yourself in a responsible manner at all times in the Laboratory.
• Neatness in the laboratory is imperative. It is not only essential to successful work, but also effective in the reduction of accidents.
• Follow all written and verbal instructions carefully. If you do not understand a direction or part of a procedure, ask your teacher before proceeding with the activity.
• When first entering a laboratory, do not touch any equipment, chemicals, or other materials in the laboratory area until you are instructed to do so.
• Perform only those experiments authorized by your teacher. Carefully follow all instructions, both written and oral. Unauthorized experiments are not allowed.
• Always work in a well-ventilated area.
• Observe good housekeeping practices. Work areas should be kept clean and tidy at all times.
• Keep hands away from face, eyes, mouth, and body while using chemicals or lab equipment. Wash your hands with soap and water after performing all experiments.
• Experiments must be personally monitored at all times. Do not wander around the room, distract other students, startle other students or interfere with the laboratory experiments of others.
• Any time chemicals, heat, or glassware are used, students should wear safety goggles.
• Contact lenses may be not be worn in the laboratory.
• Dress properly during a laboratory activity. Long hair, dangling jewellery, and loose or baggy clothing are a hazard in the laboratory. Long hair must be tied back, and dangling jewellery and baggy clothing must be secured.
• Lab coat should be worn during laboratory experiments.
• Report any accident (spill, breakage, etc.) or injury (cut, burn, etc) to the teacher immediately, no matter how trivial it seems. Do not panic.
• All chemicals in the laboratory are to be considered dangerous. Do not taste, or smell any chemicals. Never pipette anything by mouth. Bulbs are available for drawing liquids into pipettes.
• No chemicals, apparatus or equipment may be removed from any laboratory for any reason whatsoever without the teachers knowledge and consent.
• Examine glassware before each use. Never use chipped, cracked, or dirty glassware.
• Use analytical balance in the laboratory carefully. Do not weigh hygroscopic substances using butter paper on balance. Hygroscopic substances must be weighed using glass container.
• If you do not understand how to use a piece of equipment, ask the teacher for help!
• Do not immerse hot glassware in cold water. The glassware may shatter.
• Never look into a container that is being heated.
• Fume hoods must be turned on and used whenever an activity involves production of unpleasant or hazardous vapours, use of air or water reactive, reagents, use of highly corrosive or flammable materials. Work in non-functioning fume hoods is prohibited.
• Flames (i.e., Bunsen burners) should never be left unattended. No open flames are permitted in the lab when volatiles are being used outside of a fume hood.
• Never work alone. Unsupervised work is not permitted.
• Read labels carefully. Be certain that proper chemical is being dispensed. Check the warning labels for toxicity/hazards.
• Many common organic solvents are under suspicion as potential carcinogenic agents. Among these are dichloromethane, carbon tetrachloride and chloroform. Treat all organic solvents with respect and minimize contact with both the liquid and the vapours. Methanol is very toxic and can cause blindness if ingested. It can be absorbed through the skin and contact should be avoided. If accidental contact occurs,wash thoroughly with soap and water.
• Sodium and potassium metal react violently with water. Magnesium metal is very flammable. Obtain advice from teacher prior to their use.
• Compounds of heavy metals, especially lead, arsenic, antimony, bismuth and mercury are very toxic. Chromates and dichromates are capable of producing ulcerous sores, and are carcinogenic. Minimize contact with these substances.
• Open ether bottles under a fume hood with the sash pulled as low as possible.
• Considerable heat is often evolved when concentrated liquids are diluted with water.The concentrate is always added to water; never do the reverse. (Example- pour concentrated acid in water).
• Drying ovens are not approved for flammable substances. Drying ovens are used only for drying non-flammable solids that are wet with/have absorbed water.
• Report any equipment failure to the teacher. Never attempt to adjust it without guidance.
• Do not eat food, drink beverages, or chew gum in the laboratory. Do not use laboratory glassware as containers for food or beverages.
• Make certain that all apparatus/equipment/instrument is clean at the end of the practical. Double check to be sure that reagent bottles are tightly closed and stored in proper place. Leave the lab bench clean and dry.
• Any reaction mixture or product must be stored until the next practical must be labelled with the contents, the date, the name of the experimenter and a notation indicating any hazards associated with the material.
• A report on the work done in the laboratory should be entered in the journal and submitted for signature of the lecturer in-charge.
