Mannar Jawahar takes over as new Anna University V-C
THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT.............
Disciplinary rules
Dr. Viswanathan had introduced several disciplinary rules for students, imposing a dress code and banning cell phones.
Dr. Jawahar wants the dress code to continue, but is relaxing the cell phone ban to a certain extent — while students may bring phones onto campus, they must keep them switched off during working hours.
“If a cell phone is not switched off in the classroom, we will take very severe action.”
Dr. Jawahar was a student on the university’s campus himself, obtaining his B.E. in Automobile Engineering at the Madras Institute of Technology, before going on to complete an M.E. from the PSG College of Technology and a Ph.D. from IIT-Delhi.
