FMS Freshers Allege Harassment by Seniors, Prompting Probe

First-year students at Delhi University's Faculty of Management Studies (FMS) have lodged complaints of harassment against their seniors, leading to an administrative investigation. Allegations include being given tasks with odd deadlines and interactions at inconvenient hours. FMS Dean Venkat Raman has stated that necessary actions will be taken if the allegations are proven.

First-year students at the Faculty of Management Studies (FMS) of Delhi University have filed complaints against their seniors, alleging harassment and inhumane treatment. The institute's administration has launched an investigation into the matter, with potential consequences on the horizon.

FMS Dean Venkat Raman confirmed that the administration is currently probing the matter and assured that action would be taken if the allegations hold merit. 'We have an anti-ragging committee in place, and if anyone feels they were subjected to objectionable behavior, the committee can be reached out to,' Raman told PTI.

Students have claimed they were given tasks with 'odd deadlines' like 2:30 AM and forced to participate in early morning interactions at 5 AM, failing which they risked forfeiting summer placement support. Some students reported severe stress, one suffering a panic attack on campus. The placement cell, run by seniors, allegedly perpetuated these demands as part of a preparation process for corporate exposure. However, Raman also noted a recent inquiry found similar allegations 'factually incorrect.' The administration remains vigilant as the investigation proceeds.
