Attendance will be based on regular classes only. Absence in the extra/counseling classes will not reduce a student’s marks in this segment. However, participation in those extra/counseling classes may add some additional marks.
Those additional marks will be included within the attendance segment, or in a separate segment, depending on the total number of extra/counseling classes held in the semester.
An absence in a regular class MAY be excused, provided that the student submitted an application with supporting documents, clearly explaining the reason of absence.
Any activity that destroys the learning environment in the classroom or prevents others from paying attention will be considered as non-participation, which may result some deduction of marks from attendance.
A student's marks in attendance / participation is usually calculated using this procedure:
Here, A = Total present in regular and extra classes, B = Total number of regular classes held in the semester, C = Total number of extra classes held in the semester, and E =Marks allocated for extra participation.
Attendance: In a scale of 0 to 10, it shows a student’s degree of participation in regular (and sometimes also in non-regular) classes.
Marks in attendance = (A / B)*10
Marks in attendance is 10 when A > B.
Extra participation: In a scale of 0 to E, it shows a student's degree of participation in non-regular classes. Not applicable for all courses.
Marks in extra participation = {(A-B) / C} * E
Marks in extra participation is zero when A < B.
