Students are registered in every semester irrespective of number of credits they have earned at the end
of every year. However, if a student fails to complete his/her courses in the stipulated first four year (8
semesters), the student is required to vacate the hostel and complete the remaining part of credits from
outside.
a) If a student fails in a course, he/she will have to repeat the course in the appropriate semester when
the course is on offer. He/she may prefer to register that course and attend all classes and offer him/her
for normal evaluation or the student may prefer to appear the mid-semester and end-semester
examination and his/her internal evaluation would be carried forward from the semester where he/she
was regularly registered.
b) A student may change an elective course within the time-frame mentioned in the academic calendar.
If a student fails in an elective course, he/she may change the elective when he/she re-registers for the
elective in the appropriate semester.
c) The duration of the UG programme is normally four years. However, academically weak students are
permitted to complete the programme in six years from the date of first registration.
d) A student is permitted to register for few DD graded courses if the CPI of the student falls below 6.0
for improvement.
e) If a student fails to clear a subject in the end-semester examination, then he/she is permitted to clear
the same in the re-examination normally conducted within the first 15 days of the next semester. No
reduction in grade is invoked if a student clears the subject in the re-examination.
