This is a reference format, not legal advice. Most colleges accept a self-declaration filled directly on the official antiragging.in portal or their own admission portal - no stamp paper or notary needed. Some institutions specifically ask for a notarized version instead. Check your college's own admission instructions first.
When You Need This
Every student admitted to a UGC-recognised higher educational institution, and their parent/guardian, must submit a written undertaking under the UGC Regulations on Curbing the Menace of Ragging, 2009 - typically at the time of admission and again at the start of every academic year. Most colleges ask for both a student affidavit and a separate parent/guardian affidavit.
