Police teams will be placed on each campus.

According to the DU anti-ragging guidelines, any student who is found guilty of ragging will be suspended or expelled from the university. They may also face a cancellation of their degree, withholding of results, cancellation of admission, or being barred from classes or examinations.

All students taking admission have to submit an anti-ragging undertaking to the university, as per a Supreme Court judgement. DU will also set up two joint control rooms from August 1 - August 8, 2025, one each for the North and South campuses.
