IGMC Suspends Med Students for Ragging
15 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Two second-year MBBS students suspended for three months.
- Students were fined Rs 50,000 each for indiscipline.
- Incident involved calling junior students to the hostel.
Indira Gandhi Medical College (IGMC) in Shimla has suspended two second-year MBBS students for a period of three months due to their involvement in a disciplinary infraction. The students were also each fined Rs 50,000 and received a stern warning regarding their conduct.
The disciplinary committee of the institute recommended the action after an inquiry found the students guilty of calling three junior students to their hostel. This occurred last week and is a violation of established rules, as first-year students are not permitted in hostels before official accommodation is assigned.
While the committee did not classify the incident as severe ragging, it was deemed a significant breach of discipline. The decision by IGMC underscores the institution's commitment to maintaining order and ensuring a safe environment for all its students.
