Rules to Students
8

Attendance
Students are expected to attend all classes. In some subjects, attendance and participation in class are given marks.
Also, punctuality is very important. Students are expected to arrive on time as anyone who arrives after the start of
the class will be marked late (L). Three times late will be considered as one absenteeism. Warning letters will be
issued to students as given below. Absenteeism with a valid sick leave can only be accepted. Certificate of
attendance is not accepted at all.
Attendance to practical is obligatory. Reports can only be submitted if the student is present during that practical.
Any report submitted by a student for an exercise he missed cannot be accepted and no marks are given.

20 % ( number of hours)
30% ( number of hours)

Submission of Assignment
All assignments are given a due date for submission. It is crucial that you strictly adhere to the deadline. Any late
submission of assignment will be penalized. Submitting an assignment one day after the due date will incur a 5%
deduction of the allocated marks.
Examination
Students have to attend all examinations on the dates announced by the lecturer. Examinations are not repeated
unless a valid proof of sick leave is provided. This should be provided within a week from the date of the examination.
Any form of cheating/unfair practices will be dealt with severely. Students are expected to bring all their materials
(pens, pencils, erasers, calculators, etc) and avoid borrowing anything from their friends.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the use of someones idea or phrasing and representing them as your own. This can be a sentence,
short paragraph or even a whole essay. It also includes copying the work/assignment/report of your classmate.
Plagiarism is an academic offence and it is punishable by law. Cheating is considered also a form of plagiarism. Any
student found guilty of cheating will be failed for the subject and he/she may be expelled from the college.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the use of someones idea or phrasing and representing them as your own. Plagiarism occurs when
others work such as print material, images, audio-visual creations, computer programs, electronic materials, etc. are
used without appropriate acknowledgement and reference. Plagiarism is an academic offence and it is punishable by
law. Cheating is considered also a form of plagiarism.

Disciplinary Action for Student Plagiarism:

First Offence: Written warning and repeat the work

Second Offence: Zero mark and suspension for one semester

Third Offence: Dismissal from the college
Disciplinary Violations
Students are expected to behave according to the rules of the college. The regulations and traditions are ought to be
respected. Any violations including verbal abuse, behaviour, rudeness to staff and inconsiderate treatment of others
is punishable by law. Also, students are required to wear a laboratory coat in the laboratories and not to eat or drink
in the laboratories.
E-Learning Portal
Students have access to the electronic system (E-Learning) that enables them to download the course outline,
lectures and assignments. They can also find the latest updates on the course. As well, announcements regarding the
subject are posted. It is essential that you regularly check your e-learning for every subject. Make that you have
access to this system. If you do not, then you will have to contact your lecturer as early as possible.
Risk Plan
1. Mass Absence Policy: If this occurs, the topic planned for the class of mass absence will be assigned for selflearning and will be included in the assessment. This is in addition to the existing absence rules.
2. In the absence of the course tutor, the course will be handled by Mr. G. L. Narayana/Mr. Arthur Davis.
3. Course delivery plan is subject to change at the discretion of the instructor to accommodate instructional and/or
students needs.
