Rathinam College of Arts and Science established a Students’ Grievance Redressal Cell for our students. It primarily covers the receipt and processing of complaints of students and it includes action taken on any issue raised by them to avail services more effectively.

We are resolving the issues actively and satisfactorily for the grievant students. The Grievances cell maintains a single portal to complain about his/her genuine grievances. It will be viewed seriously resolving in a systematic way by involving the concerned person or department.

The grievance procedure is machinery to sort out the issues between students and the Institution. It is a means by which a student who believes that he/she has been treated unfairly with respect to his / her academic/administrative affairs or is convinced to be discriminated against is redressed. It is a device to settle a problem. It enables to express feelings by initiating and pursuing the grievance procedure in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Institution. It involves a process of investigation in which ‘Student’s Grievance Cell’ enquires and analyses the nature and pattern of the grievances in a strictly confidential manner. Matters are disclosed to only those, who have a legitimate role in resolving the matter. Emphasis on procedural fairness has been given with a view to “the right to be heard and right to be treated without bias”.
