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.
