No uniform is stipulated in degree colleges and, hence, students are free to wear the dress of their choice
Minister for Higher Education C.N. Ashwath Narayan said in Chamarajanagar on February 15 that no uniform is stipulated in degree colleges and, hence, students are free to wear the dress of their choice.
The Minister told mediapersons that as far as degree colleges are concerned, students are free to wear hijab, and there are no restrictions. Degree colleges in Karnataka are slated to reopen on February 16. ‘’But in schools and pre-university colleges where a dress code or a uniform has been prescribed, it is imperative to follow the rules,” the Minister added.
Mr. Narayan said the matter is being heard by the High Court of Karnataka, and there is an interim order, which everyone should abide by.
