But the students have criticized the move by calling it as a violation of their personal rights. The Principal of the College Dr. Thomas Mathew said that the rule of dress code is already present as per the Medical Council of India guidelines.

This is not the first news about the dress code in the college. In addition to the Kerala Government Medical College, the Kozhikode College has also banned the girls from wearing jeans earlier this year.

Last year, the Northern College of Kerala had ordered girl students to wear the uniform of kurta, a churidar and an overcoat instead of dupatta. Most of the girls especially of Medical and Engineering courses are complaining about the new dress code.
