Comments/Suggestions

If gates are to be closed as mentioned make proper food arrangements to be made available inside the campus till 2A. we're not in kindergarten that we cannot take our own care

B. we have lots of assignments for which we have to be awake 4 late night, so going out for food is inevitable

C. we need to party/movie to manage stress, and nowhere the party gets over before 2, so are we supposed to sit

out if we would like to have some fun

D. the students whose parents have shown concern should be disallowed to leave/enter the college campus, those

whose parents have no objection can get a written confirmation from our parents

E. some of us are even married, and all of us are above 21+. So we can take our own decisions i guess

There is no night canteen available in IMI, and as we have to study for long hours late into the night, where do we get

the food and beverages from. The food is specially required at around 1:15 - 1:30.

1.Due to lack of full night canteen facility we often go out to have something to eat as studying late into the night

makes us hungry.

No food available on campus, Come late after meeting friends and relatives, why should there be a restriction on

movement of adults in a free country infringing on my fundamental right of residence and movement ?

students need tea and food late at night

they have to complete their projects and assignments, which requires students to work late at nights. If gates are

closed after 12 it will become very uncomfortable for the students

Mess does not provide any food past 11 (they have on more than a couple of occasions refused to prepare food

even before that).

And there are no other grazing grounds within IMI that provide tea/coffee post 12, especially when one is workinglate.

There can be better solutions for ensuring security of college students.

1.We need to study for late hours and no proper facilities for tea coffee in the college so we need to go out

sometimes.

2.for emergency medicine purpose one needs to go out at night ..

3.sometimes you go out to a day scholar 's place for discussion and it might get late for ous to come back to college.

in an environment like a business school where students are awake late into the night it is necessary that the gate be

open so that we can go out to eat or even to take a walk

Closing gates at 12 o'clock is not at all justifiable. The management should have atleast arranged a meeting before

taking this sort of decision. Because we live here inside the campus, this is our home. If there is any change in rule, it

is to be made with the acceptance of the students, as it is claimed it is "for the benefits of the students".

Another thing is, there is no provision for food inside the campus after 12 o'clock, and from the mail it doesn't seem

any provision has been made for the same. So, literally we are left with no other option but to roam inside thecampus with hunger if someone feels hungry after 12 o'clock in night.

I think people here are grown up enough and know how to take care of themselves. Please don't treat us like school

kids at one hand and give us a feel that we are the budding managers on the other hand. It is really very confusing.

12 is too early..we study till late and feel hungry for that we will need to go out ....or a canteen should be opened

12 is too early..we study till late and feel hungry for that we will need to go out ....or a canteen should be opened1st of all there is no night canteen in college and now when i feel hungry at night i cant even go out...wts dere

plan....??

during weekend by no means i can come back by midnite....2 was still manageable but 12.....immpossible

i think to manage the gate entry they should go for a coupon system if they want where anyone going out wud be

given a coupon by guard and same could be checked and collected back when he or she will return.

Its high time now wen authorities should understand that before rolling out such rules, these things should be1. No proper night canteen facility in college.

2. If somebody is having stomach ache or any other problem.. will he/she have to wait to tick the clock 6 A:M in the

morning so that he/she can go out and buy some medicine for him/her,

3. What if we have our flight scheduled at odd hours?

Because it will allow students who are not staying outside campus more time to utlize resources and study.

Group discussions are an essential part of an MBA and if we are not allowed to do that after 12 , we will loose


8/12

The gate needs to be opened after 12 because after 12 there is no means to get food in teh campus and nearby

rockland canteen is the only alternative and if we are not allowed, that is also ruled out leaving us with no option.

Plus there has been no untoward incident so far in campus to my knowledge because of gate beign open till 2AM as

was the practice before, so I dont see a need for a change in the same especially since the entry and exit are strictly

We are in a post graduation course, and all of us would have working somewhere or the other and taking care of

ourselves, had we not been here. Such high handedness crosses the edge of rational behaviour and jumps into the

section we fondly call stupidity. We are not a bunch of teenagers crying of some space, we are adults here and such

atrocious behaviour is an insult to our basic ability to make decisions for ourselves, it is an insult to our intelligence

Because there is no facility inside the campus for food/tea after 12 am and we have to work late most of the time and

to fulfill our basic needs we need to go to rockland hospital or the shop outside

Simplest reason. Average sleeping time at IMI(or at any other b school for that matter) will surely be later than 2:30

AM. Going out for a cup of tea is the most normal thing to do to keep yourself up for doing case studies, assignments

and presentations. Besides, I don't think we have anyone less than 21 years of age over here. I think I speak for

every single student at IMI when I say that "We know how to take care of ourselves, thank you very much".

To go to Rockland for refreshments/medicine

Can get late at times after a movie/party , even though it may not be intentional and preplanned !!

Reason 1: If someone goes to meet his relatives or friends on weekends, and by chance is late and comes to college

after 12 pm, would he be standing out for 6 hrs. Who is going to be responsible if something happens to him/her in

this 6 hrs, given the fact the institutional area is quite lonely.

Reason 2: while exams, we require a constant supply of tea, to be awake and study late night. Our canteen does not

provide tea at night. Whereas the canteen at rockland is available 24/7.

Reason 3: Sometimes we feel hungry at night and hence go to outside sonu stall which is operational even at night

1pm. Our canteen has no such facility.

Reason 4: I believe that all of us in MBA college are quite mature enough to take care of themselves. So posing the

restriction on behalf of security concerns are not really necessary.

Every student studying in imi is a mature adult and knows how to take care of himself/herself. So forcing a rule

down our throat without our consent is totally uncalled for and not fair at all. If some parents are unhappy about their

child going out late night, it doesnt mean this rule should be applied to the entire batch.As an individual we hostelers might have many urgent requirements for which we might have to go out and we might

get stuck and not be able to reach the hostel after 12...... so does the management intends to keep us outside the

gate till 6 !!!! !

We required to go to have fooding outside the campus as there is no facility in the campus for the same.

There may be some special cases when we go to local relatives who stay at gurgaon and return then it may be late to

reach hostel. So earlier time line was good.

I do feel that what ever authorities are saying is justified. I strongly recommend that all must abide by the rules. Rules

shouldn't be protested against just for the sake of protesting and publicity for your reference I have this story

http://100gf.wordpress.com/2011/07/03/new-york-biker-philip-a-contos-dies-during-anti-helmet-rally/though the concern for our safety is admirable , it should not hinder our liberty as adults. we are all wise enough to

take care of ourselves and decide what is right for us , the decision of whether to go out at night or not is ours and

ours only

also this adds to the fact that the hostel starts feeling more like prisonwe are paying reasonable amount to stay here (more then what it costs outside ) , so college is not doing any favors

by letting us stay but the attitude of administration seems to reflect otherwise

I was happy with the previous timings. Even if we want to go to rockland for late night snack because there is nothing

available in canteen we cannot do so now.

As a PG student I deserve freedom . All the possible reasons are known to the management.


9/12

In the morning i go for morning walk at around 5 'O clock. So now i will have to wait till 6 'O clock for going for a walk,

for what reason or else i will have to take daily permissions??

I am an outstation student and usually i travel in night or evening because there is less traffic and weather is also fine

at that time, so that i can reach hostel early enough to attend 8:30 AM class after having enough rest or sleep. So for

every week will i have to take permissions for that?

Sometimes, we go outside to meet our friends and relatives and because of one reason or another gets late in

coming, we cannot pre-plan such events or activities. At that time, you expect students to take hotels outside or sleep

outside the gate. Whose responsibility of safety of students at that time will be when they will be staying outside as

they have nowhere to go??

If you want permission should be taken than there should be a person available 24x7 who can provide or allow

I study till late night and often go to near dhaba for having tea/ snacks.

Also some of my classmates (not hostlers) come to college for studying and leave at 1 am or 2 am

We are in PG course. I don't think that there is any need for entry-exit timing.

There must have been some reasons for putting in such restrictions, we should not doubt the intentions of the colg

authorities. I see no harm in abiding by these rules.Well, for starters, 2 days I came after 12:00 AM from New Delhi railway station after dropping my father and It wasn't

planned. So, according to this new rule, next times when my parents visit me, I will have to ask them to give an

advance notice so that I can get a permission. Do you think is this the way to deal with adults?

1st pandeyjee is gone and then we don't have an appropriate night canteen as promised. So, I guess either Delhipolice or our admin want us to remain hungry all night.

On the academic note, If we think that group studies and developing peer dynamics is one of the most important

aspect of learning in a Bschool, then by this rule, we will have to cut off all the group works between local students

and hostelites because more than often these sessions goes beyond midnight.

In the end, I think we will have to tell all fitness conscious guys that if they want to Jog in the morning, they will have

to wait till the Sun is up so that they can sweat while jogging.

One is studying in a post graduate institute, and the rule like this seems a puerile move. The facilities in the college

like eateries are nonexistent thus a student may have to go out in wee hours. I feel that at this age (I am 27 years

old) when we can take our own decision rules like this infringe in our liberty to live free life.

1. We don't have 24 hr canteen and I study till late night so it is obvious that I need to a place where I can eat.

2. I am mature enough to take care of myself while pursuing a post graduation. If you care so much about us thanplease maintain hygiene in canteen where I observed hide and seek game by mouse . There is

very high probability that we can get sick by the hygiene maintained at the canteen.

3. As far as parent-concern related issue, since last decade I am staying away from home.

Palate those parents query we can have selective restrictions. Just to inform you my parents are really worried

about the quality of food IMI serve in the college.

Need food to survive the night-outs before assignments and project submissions which happen almost every other

day!

there are no restrictions in other colleges. we are ready to give an undertaking by means of which college is not

responsible for us outside the gates. This is inconvenient as delhites many a times stay back in college after 12 and

it would be really inconvenient if we are not permitted to step out of the gates

Many times we go out for dinners and parties and as we all know delhi n ncr is a big place so most of the times its

gets late for us coming back so 12 midnight is a very impractical time limit.If we come late for any of these reasons and we have to stay out the whole night that would be a stupidity from the

college's part as the very reason to bring these time limits is the safety issue which goes for a blow in such a case.

Also many times we tend to go out to have snacks at late night adn placs like mcdonalds in delhi remain open till 1

am, so 12 midnight is again an impractical limit from college's side. Also some unavoidable situations like coming


10/12

The implication of the 12.00 AM rule seems to be that adult post graduate students lack the maturity to make

responsible decisions. Assuming that is indeed true, does the college own responsibility for something that happens

to a student outside the campus? If it does, why not have a permanent lock down, with people not being allowed to

go outside unescorted!

B school students are owls, and they become so because of the academic rigour. Assignments are worked on till late

at night, and it's not unnatural for a student to feel like going outside for a snack and some fresh air. In the current

situation, no one in their right mind would go out alone late at night. Such ventures always involve atleast a couple of

people, and has to include someone who has the means of travel ( a car..people don't venture out on a nightly stroll

in Sanjay Van, and even if they do, it's their responsibility).

What about people returning after 'lock-down hours? If someone visiting a relative for dinner overshoots the

deadline, will he be locked outside for the night? What about 'safety issues' in that case?

For outstation candidates staying at hostel, campus is the only place they can return to.If any students by some

misfortune happens to be a bit late, he has nowhere else to go apart from the campus premises.In the national

capital, 12 midnight is not a very late time and dinners,movies etc do stretch till late night.

If security of students is chief concern, this very restriction violates that concern,We cant expect students to spend

entire night roaming and being subject to criminal hazzards if they happens to come back to campus after 12

midnight.

Another principal concern is that since we don't have a fully residential campus many Delhi based students stay back

at campus premises till late night to finish group assignments.Event 1st year guys residing at Adchini hostel do stay

Err.. I am 26 and a Postgraduate student.

because i may need to go out for a cup of coffee, as i work through the night.With classes stretching till the evenings, there is hardly much time left for group assignments or project work to be

completed by mid night.

Also, not everyone in the group is available for the ad-hoc assignments immediately after the classes are over

because of prior engagements.

12:00 AM is far too early for the gate to be closed. We are old enough to take care of ourselves. We do need to goout to eat something when we study. This is a draconian rule.

This is the first MBA institute to come up with such a ridiculous rule. We are not school kids, many of us have worked

in corporate for several years. If we cant manage ourselves , how do the college think, we will manage the

companies we are placed into.

As being a day scholar i have to stay back in college for case studies and group discussions, which generally extend

till late . Due to this rule I will not be able to take part in my groups discussion as all of them are in hostel and I have

who has not been allotted any room in hostel is at loss. At least i should be allowed to leave the campus when i want

We have classes all day, the project and presentations need all night efforts. Groups are formed which includes day

scholars and adchini boys as well. Completing all the work till 12 is just too much.

Moreover we need refreshment to keep ourselves awake and working. Night canteen till 12 is not the sufficient

Sometimes work in college can extend beyond midnight, and being a day scholar, I have to go back home! even if it

This is an MBA college and not an undergraduate college. We students are mature enough to decide for our own

safety. There should not be any restriction for in/out at anytime during the day and night for both day scholars andhostelers. Many times the day scholars have to stay late in college for group. This new rule should be reverted asap.While security is of utmost importance, adults aged 22 and above should be considered judicious enough to be able

to take the right decisions. Parents will be worried about our safety even when we have grandchildren. My parents,

and I hope a majority of parents, have more faith on my discretion than on any safety measure that can be

implemented by authorities. If it is a matter with Delhi Police, the right way should be to have a briefing with the

concerned poilce authorities, where proper student representation should be ensured. Such rules should not be

enforced without consulting people who are going to be affected by it, since it does not involve minors, but thinking

(cat toppers) and intellectually sound adults. If such oppressive rules are forcefully thrust on us, there will be


11/12

we need to visit rockland to have tea and coffee

Mainly because there is no provision for food within the campus after dinner, whereas the Rockland Hospital

cafeteria provides fresh sandwiches and butter toast 24x7. It is obviously a healthier alternative to stocking up onPlease arrange for proper food facility inside campus before making such restrictions. Not only the food, our campus

is not even equipped with a small shop which have the necessary medicines and other utility products which anyone

can need anytime.

Pandey Ji which was our source for good food at odd times since very long was thrown out immediately in lieu of

beautification but even after 4-5 Months of this action the remains are still at same place. How this is adding to the

beauty of IMI campus is still a mystery to me and many others?

Last Meeting's Points which were agreed upon are still not implemented. Eg: ID Checks at Gates, Late Night

Canteen, Utility Shop and others.

i feel my parents would have never sent me to live/study outside home if they feel i am not capable of taking care of

myself. Also if we are going out some where it is simply unpractical to reach back by 12.( i generally travel late to

nearby places for work and the new rule would greatly hamper that). Personally the rule implementation without

talking to students once shows the lack of say students have in the system. I feel we are old enough to take care of

On most of the instances our group discussions extend till late in night. Groups have students from both off-campus

and on campus hostels as well as day scholors. It will become inconvenient for off campus students to enter and

leave.For group discussion we have to come to college even at late hours. Taking permission every time is a troublesome

issue already we have system in place of producing our identity cards before entering in college. Please don't

handicap those who live outside college and it makes us feel as if we are not even part of IMI. Please do consider

the kind of pedagogy that we have in place will have no sense if restricted by such rules.Assignment keeps us up all night....No coffee vending machine..IIT parathas and all keeps us going among long and

hectic schedules.Many of the times we have to go to rockland cafeteria and all for that. Plus everyone is 21+ here. If

they can manage a portfolio/a part of company /risk and stuff , they can very well take care of themselves. Just

because few incidents has happened because of personal irresponsibleness , A whole batch cann't be punished

because of this. Rather than banning the entrance, a check on alcohol consumption and other things should be

focused on. Its sending a conservative message about the institute . I hereby request the authorities to reconsider

Food, Movie etc..

I thought i'm in a PG level course!

There is no arrangement for food in the campus after 12 am. We often rely on the rockland cafeteria and pizza

delivery for food. It will become very difficult for all in case the new rule is implemented as even pizza delivery wouldnot be possible after 12. The night canteen that was promised during the last meeting is yet to be opened. It wont be

possible to get permission at night in case of emergency to buy medicines from Rockland pharmacy. Such facilities

It is like, we start studying after 12, after completing presentation, projects, committee work and all... gate should be

open AT LEAST to the Dhaba, so that we can eat or have coffee in night. And secondly if we are coming from

somewhere, it is not necessarily that we reach before 12.. if someone out for a marriage or something, how can it be

expected to come before 12.

IMI is not a residential college. Therefore any such rule will be a hindrance to the studies of students not staying in

the college hostel

Due to the lack of a night canteen students often have to go outside after 12 am, this again will be hindered due to

the new ruleOur college does not has a facility of a night canteen and the only source of food was going out and eating or

ordering food from outside at night. This 12 o'clock timing wont even allow us to have food when we need it.

The other reason is that most of us have classes till 6 pm so if we want to go somewhere and relax say like go for a

movie we can go only for shows which are after 8 or 9. This would make return nearly impossible by 12. So by this

new rule we cant even go out to relax.


12/12

This request has more to do with the way our course has been designed at IMI rather than one involving personal

interests. If the institute expects us to work in groups for our assignments, which invariably requires us to remain

awake late into the night, it's natural that students would feel hungry and would need to go out, given we don't have a

night canteen. While the concern of institute regarding our safety is admirable, the way it has been communicated

leaves a sour taste in our mouths. I feel that this decision has not been visited from all the appropriate angles and

has a few loopholes, especially when the students are outside and have been delayed due a variety of valid reasons.

What about the safety of students when they are denied entry into the campus and they have nowhere to go except

our college?

I dont think i need a reason like food or travel to decide whether I should go outside the college campus or not. Being

a rational citizen of a free nation I have every right to decide my own timings until and unless they are hampering

sumone else's. So please let us decide when do we want to enter and exit this Laxman Rekha of IMI.

And even if administration is so concerned about our safety, we could go by the old timings.

Firstly the campus is not self-sufficient in terms of 24*7 food facilities. The management should know that food eaten

after 12 pm for MBA students is as important as any other meal in the day.

Besides food, a more compelling reason to leave open the gates is for the day scholars. The kind of group work that

we are made to do mandates us to keep working together till late in the night. And it need not be mentioned that the

hostel rooms are small enough as they are without the residents having to accommodate day scholars every other

There is lack of night canteen in the campus and moreover it is not a fully residential campus, we have projects with

adhchini boys, if while working they get late and want to go back after 12.They are struck in the campus. Moreover

our campus is not at a remote location, it is situated well within the city and being a postgraduate institute we all areMedical emergencies faced by the students. e.g. Incidently my roomie had an medical emergency and we had to get

the medicine from rockland neither the guards had authority to let us go till the hospital nor they themselves could go
