Hey,
I'm sorry I'm typing this here but I couldn't find a better place.
I'm a fresher at GITAM Institute of technology.
I want to talk about the dress code,
the thing is ...
colleges like MIT, Stanford, Caltech, IITs, NITs, VIT, Manipal .... basically all the good ones don't have a silly 'no t-shirt' rule. T-Shirts aren't indecent in fact the guys at IITs print their own, shouldn't we be like that?
Let me quote
"
Vision
To become a global leader in professional education.
Mission
To impart futuristic and comprehensive professional education of global standards with a high sense of discipline and social relevance in a serene and invigorating environment.
Quality Policy
Achieve international standards and excellence in the field of technical education through the implementation of highly effective Teaching- Learning process."
All this international stuff, how about some international thinking ?
your students become less creative with such ridiculous restrictions ...
So, I request you to consider removing the dress code
