Is Vardhaman College of Engineering a strict campus? What are its rules?

Overall, the campus is definitely strict and has quite a few rules and regulations but it will depend on you whether you wish to follow them or not. Here are some of them:

• Male students are not allowed to dress in T-shirts unless there is a fest going on.
• You are not allowed to carry a mobile phone with you. The college has even issued an order from the Supreme Court to allow the seizing of mobile phones.
• You have to wear closed shoes or sneakers. Wearing sandals or flip-flops is not permitted unless you are appearing for an exam.
• You cannot bunk lectures unless you are clever about it but there are very spots for you around campus to actually relax in.
• You cannot stay in the canteen after 9:45 AM as the lectures begin then. You will be driven out by faculty and staff from there.
• If you are planning to leave college post 4.30 pm, you need to get written permission from the HoD. And yes, do not try climbing over walls since they are lined with barbed wires.
• Your parents will have to attend parent-teacher meetings with you once a year up until the final year. You cannot escape those since they follow up and might threaten you too.
• Your parents will be notified about your daily attendance in each class. For example, XYZ has attended 2 out of 6 lectures conducted on 23rd August 2019.

If you are looking for laid-back college life, that would be hard to find here. You will obviously find some way around these rules once you are properly settled in. Many of my friends have skipped classes and not attended PT meetings.
