Code of Conduct – Faculty

The Code of Ethics

The effectiveness of a College in delivering quality education and achieving the targets set by it will substantially depend on the ethical standard that the faculty and employees display in day to day discharge of their duties. It is in this belief that a code of conduct has been drawn that will provide a general framework of ideals and expectations. The code of ethics is intended to be a self-imposed discipline within which the faculty members and others may exercise academic freedom.
