During counseling, all candidates are required to produce the original and one sets of photocopies of following documents. In the event of admission, the University will retain these documents for verification.

Candidates are warned against submitting the colour photocopies of the original marks card in lieu of the original marks cards. In the event of submission of such fraudulent original marks cards, incorrect or untrue information or suppression or distortion of any fact in the original marks card, admission/degree of the candidate is liable for cancellation.

Request for withdrawal of the original documents submitted can only be made for genuine reasons in the prescribed application form available at the admission Office.

Candidates are hence advised to ensure that the application is duly filled and dispatched along with other enclosures complete in all respect.

Rank will be based on the total marks obtained in Physics, Chemistry, Biology / Mathematics and English in the UGET in case of tie the rank will be decided on the basis of marks scored by the candidate(s) in Biology /Mathematics. In case of further tie the rank will be decided on the basis of the marks obtained in Chemistry followed by Physics and finally the tie at this stage will be decided by the marks scored in PCB/M (Physics, Chemistry and Biology /Mathematics) in 10+2 (qualifying examination).

The list of candidates eligible to attend the counseling , counseling schedule, venue and other relevant details will be made available in the website

Physical presence of the candidate at the counseling is mandatory. If a candidate is prevented by unavoidable circumstances from being physically present for the counseling, he/she may authorize another individual to represent him/her at the counseling (except for MBBS). This representative must carry the authorization letter and must bring all documents and full fee. Absence of the candidate or his/her representative at the indicated reporting time and date will result in the instantaneous forfeiture of any claim for a seat.

lAffidavit by student and parents as per Annexure I & II

(a) Candidates appearing in the qualifying examination can apply as provisional candidates. They will have to submit the marks sheet and migration certificate at the time of admission. A candidate may be given provisional admission if the results of the qualifying examination are not declared at the time of counseling.

(b) C a n d i d a t e s a r e a d v i s e d t o k e e p certified copies of these certificates with them.

The number of candidates included in the merit list and also those called for counseling will be more than the total number of seats available in the constituent colleges. This is to take care of any drop outs at the counseling stage. Mere inclusion in the merit list and call for counseling does not guarantee admission to a course. This will exclusively depend on the candidate's rank, the number of candidates attending the counseling, their choice of course and the number of seats available.

The admission in SMU is purely on the merit basis. SMU does not appoint any agent to facilitate the admission process. For any clarification, please contact the admission committee members.

The university is an institution meant for higher learning and the objective is not only to impart education but also to build up the character of the students and transform them into better human beings. The students are, therefore, expected to observe proper discipline in their conduct during the entire period they spend with the university. Regulations are designed to ensure that the conduct of students and their discipline are up to required standards.

The following are regarded as acts of indiscipline

lFailure to attend classes on regular basis

l

Notes:

IMPORTANT NOTE

9. DISCIPLINE

Acts of Indiscipline:

l

destruction of university property

lMisappropriation of university property

lRagging

lPhysical assault on students and teachers/ staff

lAny conduct inconsistent with the status of a student, like smoking and drinking

After the enquiry, penalties ranging from fines, warnings, to expulsion from the institute can be awarded as per the regulations.

The Hon'ble Supreme Court has directed that ragging be banned from all educational institutions. Ragging has been made a cognizable offence and it attracts a punishment of rigorous imprisonment of up to three years and a fine of Rs. 25,000/-. Ragging has been defined as: “Any act causing, inducing, compelling or forcing a student, whether by way of a practical joke or otherwise, to do any act which detracts from human dignity or violates his person or exposes him to ridicule or forbears from doing any lawful act, by intimidating, wrongfully restraining, wrongfully confining, or injuring him or by using criminal force to him or by holding out to him any threat of such intimidation, wrongful restraint, wrongful confinement, injury or the use of criminal force”.

At SMIMS & SMIT, we have always attempted to foster a strong vibrant and warm relationship amongst the senior and junior students. An interactive session between senior and junior students is conducted in the presence of teachers. Any interaction beyond this invites harsh punishment that may take any of the following forms depending upon the severity of offence:-

lSuspension from classes/hostel

lDebarring from appearing in examination

lRustication from the college for a period up to two years

lExpulsion from the college

lFine up to Rs.25,000/- by a court of law

Every student admitted to SMIMS or SMIT or SBAS his/ her parents/ guardians are required to sign an undertaking(Annexure I & II) that the student will desist from indulging in ragging.
