Disadvantages of raggingSuicides attempt

Spoils the environment of the college Create gap between seniors and juniors Increase the crime in campuses. Extra work for police. Spoils the mental level of juniors and some people commit suicide also. Juniors cant concentrate on studies because they are living under fear.RAGGING ITSELF A DISADVANTAGELack of mentorship:With no seniors around, the first batch is an on-its-own cadre; there is very, very limited guidance for academic pursuits. Moreover, the absence of seniors also gifts the first batch with the problem of being blind, the first batch always faces greater problems (in internships, placements, industry experience, preparation for higher studies, etc.) and these problems are slowly transcended down the order (to juniors) who face relatively lesser problems for they have the time to shield beforehand.

lack of amenities/ being the guinea pigs:The first batch is always the one which is experimented with! The institute which has a set of optimized solutions tries multiple approaches on the batch and decides the treatment on the subsequent batch based on the outcome from the first. That sucks!
