Attendance rule
Minimum attendance: 80%. R.12: students with less than 80% in a course cannot take its sessional or end-semester exams and get a W grade (failure for want of minimum attendance), so the course must be repeated (not as a contact course). R.12.4: medical condonation is possible only if attendance excluding the medical leave period is at least 80% and attendance including the illness period is at least 70%, approved by an Attendance Committee. Non-CGPA courses also need 80%, with no condonation. A 2022 NBA SAR also states 80% for each course.
