IIT-Bombay on back foot only 48 hours after issuing code of Conduct

Mumbai: After a huge furor over its 15-point ‘Code of Conduct’ (CoC) of January 28 cautioning students to keep off “anti-national and anti-social” activities, the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-Bombay) administration went on the back foot and attempted damage control.

In a late Thursday statement, it said: “IIT-Bombay wishes to clarify that (it) is not against any peaceful expression of opinion in an individual capacity. The Institute is strictly apolitical in its views and does not endorse any political ideology.”

However, any student is free to express his/her opinion in the individual capacity, the IIT-Bombay said. (IANS)
