Mumbai, a city-based university, which has been in the news for imposing a hijab ban, has now also banned students from wearing ripped jeans, "revealing" t-shirts, dresses and jumpers, or a dress that reveals religion or shows "cultural disparity."
N G Acharya and D K Marathe College Chembur Trombay Education Society, in the advisory issued on June 27, also said that students should wear formal and decent attire while on campus.
Students may wear a half shirt and full or full pants. Girls can wear any Indian or Western outfit, she said.
The directive came after the Bombay High Court on June 26 refused to interfere with a decision taken by the university to impose a ban on hijab, burqa and naqab on its premises, observing that such rules do not violate fundamental rights of the students.
"Students should not wear any clothing that reveals religion or shows cultural disparity. The nakab, hijab, burqa, stole, cap, etc. will be removed by going to the common rooms on the ground floor and then only (students) will be allowed to move around the university campus," the notice said.
"No ripped jeans, t-shirts, revealing dresses or sweaters," she said.
Students belonging to the Muslim community from Shivaji Nagar, Govandi and Mankhurd areas are enrolled in the university, located in Chembur.
The call also establishes that 75 percent attendance is mandatory.
"Discipline is the key to success," he added.
Subodh Acharya, general secretary of the university's governing council, said the university has not issued any notice with new directives, referring to a circular issued by the institute earlier this year.
"The advisory is not new. We only ask students to follow the dress code of not wearing revealing clothes. We also do not ask students to wear sarees or clothes of any particular colour," he said.
"Students can come to the university wearing a hijab or burqa, change it in the university common room and then do their work," said university principal Vidyagauri Lele.
Last month, the students approached the high court, challenging a directive issued by the university that imposed a dress code under which they could not wear hijab, naqab, burqa, stoles, caps and badges inside the premises.
On June 26, the HC said that a dress code is aimed at maintaining discipline, which is part of the fundamental right of the university to "establish and manage an educational institution".
The dress code was applicable to all students irrespective of religion or caste, the top court said, dismissing a petition filed against the ban by nine girl students.
