 Policy of Attendance

Attendance in all lecture and tutorial classes is compulsory. 

Students, who do not meet 75% attendance requirement will not be allowed to write the end semester examination.

For attendance in the classes, attendance sheets will be circulated. 

Each student is expected to sign against his/her name only.

In case, any student is found marking proxy for some other student, an appropriate disciplinary action will be taken on both students involved in the proxy matter.

Random attendance will also be taken.
