Rules & Regulations
Academic policies, examination rules and student conduct guidelines
Course Completion Time
The Academic Council permits UG students to complete their course within six years (3+3) and PG students within four years (2+2).
Improvement in CIA
- A candidate who had failed twice in the External Semester Examination and had scored less than 10 out of 25 (admitted from 2023–2024) or less than 20 out of 50 (admitted from 2022–2023) in CIA may improve their CIA marks only through tests after course completion.
- A candidate who secures very low marks in the internal test is allowed to improve her/his internal marks within two days before the publication of the CIA marks. They have to write a permission letter, get it signed by the Principal and Course-in-Charge, and hand over the letter to the Deans. All this should be completed before the commencement of the Semester Examination.
- Any improvement in the internals must be followed by an External Examination.
Norms for Revaluation
- A candidate can apply for revaluation in the prescribed format within the stipulated time to the Controller's Office, and the prescribed fees must be duly paid.
-
A regular UG candidate can apply for revaluation for any three courses in a semester, if:
- The candidate has failed or secured low marks in the external exam.
- The candidate has scored 60% or more in CIA in that course.
- The candidate has passed all other courses in which they appeared during the semester.
Attendance Requirements
Attendance is obligatory in the College. Students must meet the required minimum attendance to be eligible for semester examinations.
- Necessary exemption may be given for absence on medical grounds, subject to the condition that the student fulfils the academic requirements (appearing for tests and seminars).
- Condonation must be obtained from the Principal, 10 days prior to the last working day of that semester. The decision of the Principal is final.
- Students with below 50% attendance shall re-do the semester(s) after course completion with the prior permission of the Registrar of the University.
Special Supplementary Examinations
All students with arrears in any semester may appear for the Special Supplementary Examinations at the end of the same academic year. These are conducted annually in June for both Under Graduate (UG) and Post Graduate (PG) Programmes.
Malpractice Policy
If a student resorts to malpractice in the internal tests, she/he will be marked as Malpractice for the paper. The test will be treated as invalid and the paper will not be valued.
If a student is found to have committed malpractice during an External Semester Examination, she/he shall be allowed to appear for the remaining examinations of that semester. However, the results of all examinations taken during that semester shall be withheld until the malpractice inquiry is completed and a final decision is made by the Principal.
Grievance Handling
For CIA
Grievances in matters regarding CIA will be attended by the Course In-Charge of the course and the Head of the Department.
For End Semester Examination
Grievances in matters regarding the End Semester Examination will be attended by the respective Head of the Department and the Controller of Examinations through the Principal.
Disciplinary Issues
Any other serious disciplinary issues will be addressed by the Head of the Department and the Principal. All decisions taken by the authorities shall be considered final.
