The 75 per cent attendance rule in college is haunting students once again. Failing to fulfil minimum attendance requirements, a total of 20 second-year BSc IT students from Wilson College have been debarred from their written and practical exams. The students have said they not only face a drop year but also the daunting task of restarting their course from the first year as the new courses will be aligned with NEP.
The attendance rules of Wilson College mandate: “The attendance for lectures will be recorded course-wise. The college expects 100 per cent attendance at all lectures and practicals as per the chosen course. As there are legitimate reasons why 100 per cent attendance is not possible, a minimum of 75 per cent attendance per course is made mandatory. A student with less than 75 per cent attendance in a course (including tutorials) will not be allowed to appear for the End Semester Exam (ESE) in that course.”
