Make-up Policy: Refer to student Handbook section 6.5 for the Makeup Policy. Prior and
proper information to the concerned instructor is a must and the student should maintain a
minimum attendance.
General: All students are advised to attend classes regularly and strictly maintain an attendance of
75% at least. Students failing to maintain the required percentage of theory/practical attendance will
not be permitted to appear for the tests and examinations.
It is expected that students refrain from using cell phones during lectures and in the labs. The cell
phone must be kept switched off and used only during recess or outside class hours.
