Programme Info – Attention!
1. Attendance Policy:
Attendance for all the sessions (online/on‐campus) is compulsory.
If your attendance is less than 80% for a credit course, then it will attract a
penalty of one grade point reduction in the respective course.
If your attendance is less than 40% for any course, then Not Pass/Fail grade will
be assigned in the respective course.
Absence of a whole residency without intimation will be considered as dropping
out from the programme. The student will have to withdraw from the
programme if he/she has not taken prior approval. In that case, the student can
apply for admission again in the next academic year if he/she so desires by
paying the entire fee for the programme.
