'Preparing students for corporate world': Mumbai college's bizarre justification for banning jeans

A year after banning students from wearing hijab, Acharya and Marathe College in Mumbai's Chembur issued a new dress code banning jeans and T-shirts. This has come a few days after the Bombay High Court dismissed a plea filed by students of the college, challenging the college's dress code banning hijab.

The notice by the college mentioned that torn jeans, T-shirts, revealing dresses and jerseys are not allowed. It was signed by the Principal of the college Dr. Vidyagauri Lele.

"Students should wear formal and decent dress while on campus. They can wear a half-shirt or full-shirt and trousers. Girls can wear any Indian or western outfit. Students shall not wear any dress which shows religion or cultural disparity. Nakab, hijab, burkha, stole, cap, badge etc shall be removed by going to common rooms on the ground floor and then only they can move throughout the college campus," the notice reads.

The college said that they are preparing the students for the corporate world. Principal of the college Dr. Vidyagauri Lele said, "We just want students to wear decent clothes. We have not brought in any uniform, but have asked them to wear formal Indian or western clothes. After all, they will be expected to wear those once they are employed."
