Overview

  • The uniform requirement applies exclusively to first-year undergraduates enrolling in the 2025-26 session, excluding postgraduate and doctoral students.
  • Male students must wear formal navy-blue pants and sky-blue shirts.
  • Female students can choose between formal pants and shirts or salwar-kameez with a navy-blue waistcoat.
  • Dupattas have been prohibited due to safety concerns over potential entanglement with moving machinery.
  • University officials say the fabric and color choices were selected for neutrality and stain resistance and that uniforms will be phased in for senior students later.
