All students are made aware of the code of conduct during admission, during the Orientation Program, and during the class all through the session. The Principal, teaching, and non-teaching staff look after the matter individually. The Principal and College Council look after the matter of teaching and non-teaching staff and whether they are following the code of conduct. If any issues develop, the matter is being discussed one-to-one, though no such serious matter has ever taken place.
