Voluntary Drug Screening at IITs and IIMs has been introduced as an optional wellness initiative for newly admitted students across selected premier institutes. The programme encourages students to voluntarily undergo urine-based drug screening to identify substance abuse at an early stage. Authorities have clarified that participation is entirely voluntary and the results will not influence admissions, academic records, or disciplinary action. Instead, students needing assistance will be guided toward counselling and rehabilitation support. The initiative aims to promote healthier campuses while reducing the stigma around seeking help for addiction. Educational institutions are expected to combine awareness programmes with confidential support systems to ensure student well-being and responsible campus life.
