Statement: Should there be uniforms for students in the colleges in India as in the schools?
Arguments:
- Yes, this will improve the ambience of the colleges as all the students will be decently dressed.
- No. The college students should not be regimented and they should be left to choose their clothes for coming to the college.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, after being in strict discipline and following a formal dress code of the school for so many years, the students must be granted some liberty in college life, as they have to take on the responsibilities of life, next. Besides, schools adopt uniforms to take care of the security of the child - an aspect which doesn't matter much in the colleges. So, argument II holds strong. Also, the environment of the college depends on the students' dedication and etiquettes and not on their uniforms. So, argument I is vague.

The environments of colleges and schools are different from each other. Starting from the eligibility criteria to become a professor and a high school teacher to the presence of student unions, and class structure.
All are different. So imposing the same rule on both the colleges and schools is baseless. Because in that case, employees from similar office should have uniforms too. Need not to generalize things. Hence option B is the right option.

I think the environment depends upon the tangible things like dress code & college reputation depends on students' dedication and etiquettes and not on their uniforms.

The main reason schools or colleges have dress code is to maintain "EQUALITY" among students. So argument 1 is not vague, argument 2 is vague.

Arguement 1 is not vague. Atleast there can be a dresscode for college students and this in no way indicates that students liberty is being hampered, rather there will be a sense of discipline in students which will help them prosper more in their life.

Argument 1 is not vague. Without dress code some students wear high class clothes and some of them can't afford that. Dress code is compulsory in collages.

According to my opinion, the uniform should be compulsory. Because if in case having an accident with one of the students at the time of college. Then form that uniform it is easy to understand that form which college he is?

Wearing a uniform in college develops a sense of equality in the institution and is of some advantage to the economically backwards student. Not everyone can afford to buy new clothes for college. Uniforms also develop a sense of discipline in the college.

Here, we are talking about college. If we see there are no uniforms in college, then 2argument is valid.

Having a dress code will help the students get the feeling of being in a college. Not having a uniform students can wear anything and it will distract them from studying and make not make any students feel the difference in wearing dresses. I will go with A.

But their should be uniform for college students too because nowadays we can see students bunk their classes and hangout with friends so if they wear uniform people can recognize them and also college authority can know who is on bunk with the help of local people.
Students are not that serious for their studies the way students used to do before.
