Petition Against Mandatory Winter Uniform Requirements
We, the undersigned students, respectfully submit this petition to express our concerns regarding the recent notice mandating the compulsory wearing of the college uniform along with sweater, blazer, and tie.
While we fully respect the institution’s intent to maintain discipline and uniformity, we believe this particular requirement raises several practical and financial concerns that deserve reconsideration:
-
Limited Winter Duration
With winter nearly over and only a few weeks remaining, especially for third-year students, purchasing an entire set of winter uniform (sweater and blazer) for such a short duration is neither practical nor reasonable. -
Financial Burden on Students
The additional cost of college-specific sweaters, blazers, and ties places an unnecessary financial burden on students and their families, many of whom may already be managing tuition fees, accommodation, and other academic expenses. -
Lack of Flexibility
Making winter-specific attire compulsory does not account for varying weather conditions, individual health needs, or students commuting long distances. A flexible dress guideline would better accommodate these factors. -
Academic Focus Over Appearance
Strict enforcement of winter uniforms may lead to undue stress and disciplinary issues, diverting attention away from academics, projects, internships, and placements - especially for senior students. -
Sustainability and Practicality
Encouraging students to purchase clothing that will be used for only a brief period goes against principles of sustainability and responsible consumption.
We respectfully request the administration to reconsider this decision and allow flexibility - such as making winter uniforms optional, relaxing enforcement for final- and third-year students, or permitting non-college winter wear that meets basic decency and safety standards.
We hope the administration will take these genuine concerns into account and arrive at a student-friendly solution through constructive dialogue.
Thank you for your time and understanding.

The strict enforcement of complete winter uniform including blazer and tie during extreme cold is unreasonable. Fining students for prioritizing health over formality is unfair and irresponsible. Winter rules should focus on student safety, not money collection. We request immediate relaxation of this policy.

I totally understand the need of a dress code blue colour, which was the practice that was implemented up till now. I've already spent a lot of money to buy the appropriate blue shade shirts. Now, buying the uniform would just put unnecessary burden on me and my family.
as a student of jiit, i strongly agree with the contents of this petition and despite having already purchased the uniform last minute, i believe students that are going to graduate soon or students that don’t have the extreme financial stability for it shouldn’t have to spend on a set that will barely last the next few weeks.
Mandatory winter uniform will not be feasible for people commuting from long distance like nowadays I'm wearing 7 clothes which will not be possible with that blazer and sweater and hence we can catch cold
Yeahh remove dress not only in winters but overall it should be removed
I support the cause.

It is not feasible to buy the uniform that we will use for such a short duration being pre-final year students. And such short notice results in more students who could have managed to acquire the uniform when the need would arise are forced to buy from the college shop which is neither flexible nor adequately priced
