“If you are caught in cult-related activities, the University Management will dismiss you and hand you over to the police for further actions. I want you to know that examination malpractices is equally an offence which can send you out of the University if you are caught indulging in it. The Management will equally expell you and hand you over to the police. ESUT Management has zero-tolerance for these vices,” he said.
