Mid-Sem Grading:
Mid-sem grading will be displayed after two evaluation components. (Refer Academic calendar for schedule).
Note: A student will be likely to get “NC”, if he / she doesn’t appear / appear for the sake of appearing for the evaluation
components / scoring zero in pre-compre total.
Makeup and Attendance policies:
Make-ups: are not given as a routine. It is solely dependent upon the genuineness of the circumstances under which a
student fails to appear in a scheduled evaluation component. In such circumstances, prior permission should be obtained
from the Instructor-in-Charge (I/C). The decision of the I/C in the above matter will be final.
Attendance: Every student is expected to be responsible for regularity of his/her attendance in class rooms and
laboratories, to appear in scheduled tests and examinations and fulfil all other tasks assigned to him/her in every course.
A student should have a minimum of 60% of attendance in a course to be eligible to appear for the Comprehensive
Examination in that course. For the students under the purview of Academic Counselling Board (ACB), the Board shall
prescribe the minimum attendance requirement on a case-to-case basis. Attendance in the course will be a deciding
factor in judging the seriousness of a student which may be directly / indirectly related to grading.
General timings for consultation:
Friday 1.00-2.00pm
General instructions:
Students should come prepared for classes and carry the prescribed text book(s) or material(s) as advised by the Course
Faculty to the class.
Notices: All notices concerning the course will be displayed on the respective Notice Boards.
