A rethink on preventive measures came after a first-year student was ragged and left him with injuries for which he needed a surgery. A case was also registered with police.
The incident happened in the boys hostel which is shared by first year and second year students.
SPA, which conducted an internal inquiry into the incident that happened in September last year, is considering some new measures to make sure such incidents are not repeated.
"We have not finalised any (new measures) as yet but there are a number of things that are being discussed. One of them is the possibility of segregating first year bachelor students and the rest of the students," Prof Chetan Vaidya, Director of SPA, told PTI.
He said the institute, which takes anti-ragging measures very seriously, had witnessed very few such cases in the past and the recent case was unfortunate.
The college hostel has a committee comprising faculty members who are responsible for keeping a vigil and punish the students breaching discipline but the body seemed to have been caught unawares by the episode.
"The student (victim) did not contact anybody before leaving Delhi. We later received a fax from his father which is when we went through the details of the matter," he said. (more)
