ISLAMABAD: As many as seven students of the National University of Sciences and Technology (Nust) was fined for not wearing dupatta or wearing jeans and tights, after the university management made it mandatory for female students to wear dupatta and imposed a ban on wearing jeans in the premises of the university, reports said.
Some female students were fined Rs500 to Rs1,000 for wearing jeans and tights and for not wearing dupatta, a document signed by Nust’s Deputy Director (Administration) Abdul Nasir shows.
Similarly, the university management fined 11 students because of different reasons, including smoking and eating in labs.
However, the Nust’s management denied the report, saying that students were instructed to wear ‘decent’ dresses.
In addition, a faculty member told media on condition of anonymity that the environment in the university was very strict because all important administrative posts were held by retired army officers.
“Male and female students are not allowed to sit together and they are fined for violation. Teachers and students know that they will be fired and rusticated if they do anything against the will of the administration,” he said.
