VIT - Ladies Hostel Safety

Step on to the vibrant world of VIT – the place where knowledge merges with extra-curricular activities, and dreams find their spotlight. At Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), education isn’t just about textbooks; it’s about the vibrancy of Riviera and the intellectual crescendo of Gravitas. Furthermore, safety is VIT’s top priority, particularly for female students. The VIT girl’s hostel is more than walls; the facilities of the hostel are designed to support the academic and personal development of female students while ensuring their safety and comfort.
When considering hostel options at VIT, safety is a top priority, especially for female students. Here’s an overview of the safety measures and environment in the women’s hostels at VIT:
24/7 Security: The hostel premises have round-the-clock security personnel. Any suspicious activity is promptly addressed to provide a secure environment for the female students.
Access Control: Hostels are equipped with secure entry systems, such as Biometric Attendance, to prevent any unauthorized access. This means only students and authorized personnel can enter the hostel premises.
CCTV Surveillance: All the hostel premises (both boys and girls) have extensive CCTV coverage in common areas and entry points. This acts as a deterrent to potential intruders and helps in monitoring any unusual activities.
Emergency Protocols: Hostels have well-defined emergency protocols, including fire drills and emergency contact numbers. Students are briefed on these procedures to ensure they know how to respond in case of an emergency.
Anti-Ragging Policy: VIT takes a strong stance against ragging both on campus and in hostels. There is an “Anti-Ragging Committee,” consisting of faculty members, staff, and student counsellors to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for all students.
Well-Lit Areas: The pathways and areas around the hostels are well-lit, making it safer for students to move around during the evening and night.
Personal Safety: The hostel authorities take extensive measures to ensure student safety, including escorting a student with a warden or security to the station or airport if the student has to travel in the night or early mornings.
Hostels inside Campus: All the hostels are located within the campus, making it convenient for students to access academic buildings and facilities.
