He said that till now, teachers were wearing salwar suits, kurtas and jeans due to which it was sometimes difficult to distinguish between them and students. The spokesman said that a similar decision on enforcing a dress code for students would also be enforced from the next session. "A dress code for students cannot be enforced during the middle of an academic session," he said.
