Ragging is still prevalent in MANIT, and it is much more serious than any other college. Those who claim that it is a zero ragging campus, consider ragging to be limited to physical assault. However, ragging includes all kinds of mistreatments and harassment.
The culture of fundas is a clear example of ragging on campus. One has to address the senior in a particular manner, and speak a lot of unnecessary things. If one doesn’t follow these fundas, there are serious consequences to it.
Roaming around the campus post class hours results in thrashing. The seniors verbally abuse and challenge freshers, even in front of security guards and professors. As a result of this culture, freshers are completely isolated from seniors.
It is hard to believe that such practices are prevalent in an Institute of National Importance. Some serious actions are needed to curb these harsh practices in MANIT Bhopal.
