#1: How to replace a lost/broken ID card:

In case you find yourself with a lost/damaged ID card or find that the details on your ID card need to be changed, follow these steps.

 

You will need:

  • Rs.500 in case of loss/damage.
  • Rs. 250 for change of details.
  • Patience.

 

Step 1: Head to the SmartCard Section, located in Room 114 on Level 1 of the Central Library.

 

Step 2: Inform the staff at the SmartCard Section that you’ve lost/damaged your ID card. You will be given a form.

 

Step 3: Fill out the form with your details – name, address, blood group etc. The form also requires the signature of your Hostel Warden and the Chief Security Officer.

 

Step 4: Obtain the signature of your Hostel Warden at your Hostel Office.

 

Step 5: Head to the Security Section, located in the ground floor of the Admin block. Get the form signed by the Chief Security Officer.

 

Step 6: While in the Admin Block, go to the fourth floor. You will be able to pay the required amount of Rs.500 for a lost/damaged ID card or Rs. 250 for change of details at the Account Section. Collect the receipt.

 

Step 7: Return to the SmartCard Section and produce the filled-out form and the receipt for payment. Your ID card will be printed out for you.
