Key Highlights

Follow the Chain of Command

Before approaching the formal grievance cell, attempt to resolve the issue through your immediate HOD or Dean.

Impartial Review

The grievance committee consists of senior officials to ensure a balanced and objective review of the matter.

Action Steps

1

Attempt local resolution

Discuss the concern with your direct supervisor or department head first.

2

Draft a formal representation

If unresolved, write a clear, objective letter outlining the issue, dates, and what specific resolution you seek.

3

Submit to the Registrar

Formal grievances should be submitted to the Registrar's office, who will route it to the appropriate committee.
