University Attendance Rules
Requirement to appear for the examinations:
a) A candidate shall be permitted to appear for the university examinations for any semester (theory as well as practical) if
i. He/she secures not less than 75% of attendance in theory as well as in practicals (separate attendance registers shall be maintained for theory and practicals) in the number of working days during the semester.
ii. In the case of married woman candidates the minimum attendance requirement due to maternity shall be not less than 55% of the total instructional days in theory as well as in practical’s.
iii. He/she earns a progress certificate from the Head of the institution, of having satisfactorily completed the course of study prescribed in the scheme of examinations for that semester as required by these regulations.
iv. His/her conduct shall be satisfactory. Provided that it shall be open to the Syndicate, or any authority delegated with such powers by the Syndicate, to grant exemption to a candidate who has failed to earn 75% of the attendance in theory as well as in practical’s, prescribed, for valid reasons, subject to usual conditions.
b) A candidate who has secured less than 75% but 65% and above attendance in any semester separately for theory and practical’s, shall be permitted to take the examination on the recommendations of the Head of the Institution to condone the lack of attendance on the payment of prescribed fees to the University, separately for theory and practical’s.
c) A candidate who has secured less than 65% but 55% and above attendance in any semester in theory as well as in practical has to compensate the shortage of attendance in the subsequent semester besides earning the required percentage of attendance in that semester and appear for both semester papers together at the end of the later semester, on the payment of the prescribed fees to the university separately for theory and practical. However, it is left to the discretion of the respective colleges to derive a befitting methodology (seminar, test, assignment etc.) to record the compensation of lack of attendance in the form of special attendance outside the business hours and then allow the students to pay the prescribed fees and to write the examination. Separate attendance register shall be maintained in theory as well as practical, for compensating the shortage of attendance. During the hours of compensation of attendance, the candidate shall not be given attendance for the regular semester classes. At any time, the university authorities may scrutinize these records to ensure implementation of these rules and regulations in the interest of the students.
d) A candidate who has secured less than 55% of attendance in any semester separately for theory and practical’s, shall not be permitted to appear for the regular examinations in that particular semester or in subsequent semesters. He/she has to rejoin/re-do the semester in which the attendance is less than 55%, on the payment of prescribed fees to the University, separately for theory and practical’s, after getting prior approval of the University.
e) A candidate who has secured less than 65% of attendance in the final semester separately for theory and practical’s, has to compensate his/her attendance shortage in a manner as decided by the concerned Head of the department, after getting prior approval of the University. The candidate shall be permitted to rejoin in the 6th semester, after completing his/her regular 3 year course.
