SGRC OF FAROOK COLLEGE (AUTONOMOUS)
In line with the university regulations and UGC guidelines, Farook College has constituted a Student Grievance Redressal Committee (SGRC) to address and resolve grievances raised by students regarding academic, administrative, or personal matters.
Composition of the Committee:
-
Chairperson: A senior Professor/ Associate Professor of the Institution.
-
Members: Four senior faculty members of the College nominated by the Principal.
-
Special Invitee: A student representative, nominated by the Principal (based on academic merit, excellence in sports, or performance in co-curricular activities).
GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL MECHANISM
At the department level, grievances are managed by the Mentor/Advisor and the Head of the Department (HOD). Students are encouraged to first approach their mentor or advisor to report any complaints or suggestions. If necessary, the matter can be escalated to the HOD for further attention. The department strives to resolve grievances within 2 working days.
If a grievance is not resolved at the department level, it is handed over to the Student Grievance Redressal Cell (SGRC) for further action. In addition to unresolved individual grievances, students can approach the SGRC for matters of common interest that affect a larger group of students.
SUBMISSION OF GRIEVANCE
Students can submit grievances either in writing or through the college's designated online grievance portal. The grievance must include detailed information regarding the issue, relevant documents, and contact details of the complainant.
Acknowledgement
The grievance will be acknowledged within two working days of submission, and a timeline for resolution will be communicated to the student.
Preliminary Examination
The SGRC will conduct a preliminary inquiry to determine the legitimacy and severity of the grievance. If the grievance falls outside the jurisdiction of the SGRC, the student will be notified, and the grievance will be forwarded to the relevant authority.
Resolution Process
Involve conducting hearings, collecting evidence, or consulting relevant stakeholders. In cases requiring detailed investigations, a resolution will be provided within 20 working days from the submission of the grievance.
The effective functioning of the Student Grievance Redressal Cell (SGRC) demonstrates its commitment to fairness, transparency, and justice, ensuring that all student concerns are addressed impartially.
