Please indicate by ticking the boxes below the grounds under which you are making your appeal:

The date that I ended the 2nd year course on 4th May. The placement email received on 5th May at IIT
campus. The CV feedback has given on May 5th May. I gave CV to Miss Gayashini (Senior Lecturer).
Evidence

You must state clearly the reason why you are appealing, under which grounds, and give specific
details of the alleged irregularity. Please continue on a separate sheet if necessary.

Please be assured that any information you give us will be treated sensitively and in the strictest
confidence.

Since applied for all these jobs online and since there are no response at 28 th May and the last job that I
applied on 5th October since there were no response. I contacted at IIT campus and they responded by
email telling me to continue the 4th year since 12th October 2021. I made the decision to continue the 4 th
year by emailing to registrar and consent was given on 18th October but prior on 16th October I attended
the first class and the L6 course material was given on 15 th October. On the date L6 coordinator gave me
the lecture link by email. They gave me an approval letter on 18 th October by Kaushlya Hansapani
(Senior Assistant Registrar). They gave the module registration form. They gave fees details on 19 th
October and paid on 21st October. I confirmed that I informed by the registry that I can join L6 from this
week onwards on 21st October.
How do you propose your appeal can be resolved to your satisfaction?

If an appeal is upheld the decision will be in line with the Handbook of Academic Regulations. Normally
the appeal process cannot alter or amend published regulations.

Since the L6 course has started on 27th September and I was submitting my CVs to get an internship and
since I couldn’t get a proper internship and the time was passing the IIT campus informing me by email
asking me to continue the 4th year. So I agreed to follow the 4th year by that time I have lost nearly one
month of 4th year lessons with a main subject as a final year project. So I appeal to IIT campus to give
me adequate time and provide me with a supervisor to do my proposal and subject a date that is suitable
to me and IIT campus atleast one month to do my project proposal since this is the main subject of the
BSc (Hons) Business Information Systems and has a credit 20 and I want to get a good grade for my
project.
