The duties of the Proctors have evolved over the centuries, but not by as much as one might have thought after the passing of 800 years. In short, these days, among other things, we:
ensure good order and discipline in the University;
ensure proper conduct of various University functions and programmes;
oversee the security;
maintain the right to free speech in the University;
serve on a number of University bodies, committees, and boards;
involved in canteen management
ensure a good circulation of traffic inside the university
