Mandatory statutory compliance undertaking and affidavit governed under UGC Regulations, 2009 and Supreme Court directives, submitted annually by every college, university, and medical/engineering student and their parents via the national portal (antiragging.in) committing to zero tolerance against campus ragging
Earlier, students were forced to spend hundreds of rupees on non-judicial stamp paper and advocate notaries. Under revised UGC notifications, physical notarized affidavits on stamp paper have been REPLACED by the 100% free, paperless online undertaking on www.antiragging.in. Generating the online pledge with your unique reference number completely satisfies college admission requirements.
đĄ An Anti-Ragging Affidavit (or Online Undertaking) is a mandatory legal pledge required at the time of college admission. Under UGC regulations, every student and their parent must declare that the student will not indulge in, abet, or tolerate any physical, verbal, or mental ragging on campus or in hostels. Generating the undertaking on the official central portal (antiragging.in) provides an instant, unique Reference Number and a signed PDF pledge that must be submitted to your college admission desk.
