Constitution of anti-ragging committee, regular interaction and counselling with students, and surprise inspection in hostels are among the guidelines issued by UGC for universities to deal with the menace on their campuses.

Regular interaction and counselling with the students should be conducted to detect early signs of ragging and identification of trouble-triggers. Surprise inspection at hostels, students' accommodation, canteens, rest-cum-recreation rooms, toilets, bus stands and any other measures which would augur well in preventing/quelling ragging and any uncalled for behaviour or incident, are suggested, UGC Secretary Rajnish Jain said in a letter to universities.
