To end caste bias, IIT-B says don't ask mates their JEE ranks

In a step towards making the institute more inclusive in the wake of a first-year student, Darshan Solanki, died by suicide on campus, IIT-Bombay has asked its students to refrain from asking each other's JEE (Advanced) ranks or their GATE scores or any information that may reveal their caste or other related aspects. The guidelines urge students to bond with each other irrespective of their caste, religion or socio-economic status.
