IIT Bombay Reiterates Anti-Discrimination Guidelines Amid Student Protests
IIT Bombay has reiterated anti-discrimination guidelines advising students, faculty, and staff not to ask peers about caste, admission category, or entrance exam ranks, citing potential bias and harm. The guidelines also prohibit casteist, sexist, or hateful messages and harassment, including online. These measures follow protests and allegations of caste-based discrimination after the suicide of student Sahil Wakode, which is under police investigation. While the institute denies discrimination, some students seek deeper dialogue beyond advisory emails to address campus concerns.
