Apart from Xavier’s, there are other colleges in the city that have a strict dress code including Wilson College and Girgaum where BMM students are not allowed to wear sleeveless and shorts while the same rule has not been imposed on the students of other departments.
BMM students are upset that such rules are only applicable for them while other students are free to wear what they want. Students wearing ripped jeans from Wilson. A student of St Xavier’s College was stopped by a guard from entering the campus because she was wearing ripped jeans.
Students claim that these restrictions are unreasonable. However, the college administration says that such rules are set to maintain decorum and discipline. Explaining the new addition to the rules, Principal of St Xavier’s, Agnelo Menezes said that sleeveless clothes, shorts and ripped jeans are not just vulgar but also tend to make a mockery of the poor.
