According to the circular, students are prohibited from wearing jeans, t-shirts, casual clothing, shorts, one-piece dresses, slippers, and clogs during college hours. It goes on to specify that male students should adhere to a formal dress code, consisting of shirts and trousers along with black leather shoes.
