IIT-Bombay may put 1-semester suspension rule for copying on hold at today's meet
IIT-Bombay is likely to revisit its one-semester suspension rule regarding academic misconduct. The institute aims to reinstate guidelines from 2015 after incidents led to student protests. A special senate meeting is scheduled to discuss the proposed changes and faculty suggestions. The mid-semester exams will proceed using the older guidelines that are perceived as less harsh. This decision is influenced by a recent student suicide linked to disciplinary actions.
