NEW DELHI: The excitement was palpable on the campus as freshers took their first steps into college on Wednesday. There was a tinge of nervousness , but the overwhelming warmth of seniors and teachers swept away all lingering doubts. With generous display of anti-ragging posters, disciplinary squads manning the campus and cops milling with the crowd, first day of the new session was a smooth sail. There were no complaints of ragging. No baptism by fire either — it was all fun, frolic and academics .
There were friendly interactions with seniors. Teachers, too, did not wait long to get on with work. It was full attendance on the first day of the semester.
Off-campus colleges like Shraddhanand , Keshav Mahavidyalaya and Rajdhani were kept busy by the vicechancellor's visit. He announced a slew of measures, including grants to colleges and sending students from economically weaker sections to educational institutes abroad.
On the North Campus — Sri Ram College of Commerce, SGTB Khalsa, Miranda House and Ramjas — the friendly sessions were missing. While some freshers were relieved, others were disappointed for missing out on the ice-breaking sessions.
"There was no ragging. Seniors just came to our classrooms to tell us about college societies," said Eti Aggarwal , a first year student at SRCC. "It was nice to have a friendly banter with seniors," said Dhruv Vats, a BBE student at SGTB Khalsa College.
But students of St Stephen's , Hindu , Kirori Mal and Hans Raj enjoyed the 'friendly interactions' . In fact, seniors went overboard at Hans Raj by making students dance and sing. "Asking names, knowing our hobbies and fun questions is fine, but making us dance in public is embarrassing," said a first year student.
At KMC, freshers enjoyed every bit of it. Seniors of the BSc (H) mathematics had a close-door interaction with their juniors. "We were waiting for our class to begin, when suddenly our seniors stormed in and closed the doors. We were nervous. But soon it turned out to be a fun session. They were sensitive to our feelings and made us comfortable," said Riya Jain, a first year student at KMC.
In South Campus too, the atmosphere was electrifying. "We were asked to dance or sing in class. At the end of it we were all left smiling and made new friends," said Kriti Malhotra , a first year student from Ram Lal Anand.
The colleges also went about their business. Freshers had their first semester classes. "The best thing about the semester system is there is no time to waste. Our teachers have started teaching from day one," said Hindu College principal V K Srivastava.
