The administration believes that such clothing distracts students from their academic responsibilities. This policy has sparked debate, particularly regarding the contradiction of allowing students to vote while restricting their choice of attire.

Recently, a prominent university in my city, decided to implement a new dress code in 227 engineering colleges.

The dress code states that students should not wear jeans, t-shirts, skirts or sleeveless and tight-fitting outfits and enjoins them to dress conservatively. This is because the adminstration thinks certain outfits detract students from the seriousness of academic pursuits.

But the implementation of this dress code was taken to ridiculous extremes in this example

The irony of this is that, the students affected are deemed mature and responsible enought to be allowed to vote, but are not allowed to choose what dress to wear.
