The dress code for the conference is strictly formal, and all participants must adhere to it. Inappropriate clothes will not be permitted, and the delegate will be debarred from attending the conference.
1) 28th and 30nd April: Delegates should dress in formal Western business clothing on the conference's first and last days. Traditional attire will be permitted in case business formals are unavailable.
2) 29th April: National or traditional attire is mandatory for all delegates on the conference's second day.
Business Formal Clothing:
1) Girls: Trousers, blouses, plain shirts (refrain from wearing brighter colors), and blazers (preferable but optional). Skirts are strictly prohibited.
2) Boys: Pants, plain shirts (refrain from wearing brighter colors), ties, and blazers (preferable but optional).
Traditional Clothing:
1) Girls- Kurtas (should not be sleeveless or see-through, i.e. chikankari) with leggings or pants. It is compulsory to carry a dupatta to maintain uniformity in photographs. Sarees are not permitted.
2) Boys- Kurtas with pajamas. Nehru jackets are recommended.
● Casual wear (jeans and t-shirts) and see-through clothing on any day are absolutely not permitted.
● Prescribed shoes for girls and boys are formal dress shoes. Please avoid high-heeled shoes, casual shoes, and sneakers to ensure formality, comfort, and mobility.
● The overall appearance must be crisp and smart. The hair must be tidy; this implies tied hair for girls and smartly cut hair for boys. Girls are requested to limit accessories and avoid heavy makeup as it takes away from the professionalism of the conference.
● Accessories (except watches and hairclips) will be confiscated.
If the attire of any delegate is deemed inappropriate by the Secretariat, Executive Board, or the Teacher-Directors, they will be marked absent and debarred from attending any further sessions. Changing clothes and calling home to request alternate garments will not be permitted.
The final discretion in the matter rests with the Secretariat.
