working days from the last date for registration on payment of a fine for late registration. A fine @ Rs.100/-
per working day will be charged if the student does not pay
the fees within 3 working days from and inclusive of the date of registration. If a student pays his/her fees
on the 4th or 5thworking day then the fine would be Rs.300/- and 400/- respectively. If a student pays

*A “Credit Course” means a course taken on credit basis and only such a course contributes towards credit
requirements of the programme.
**A Term Paper in the second year may be taken only after a minimum of 18-credit point regular in-class
courses are taken, subject to Term Paper rules, in Terms-IV,V,VI.

i. Students will not be allowed to carry Mobile phones/tablets or any food and drinks other than water inside
the classrooms/lecture halls.
ii. Attendance is compulsory for all courses.
iii. Students involved in proxy will be penalized of two class attendances.
iv. Students are expected to attend all the classes of a given course. However, to accommodate short-term
contingencies, a minimum of 80% attendance for classes held is stipulated for a course. Thus, the cushion
of 20% is given to accommodate absence from class due to minor ailments, participation in co-curricular
activities, exigencies in the family and any other short-term contingencies.
v. In view of the varying nature of pedagogy in different courses, some courses may not have classes for a part
of a Term, and students may be required to do project work during this period. However, in such cases
students will be required to submit interim/final project reports, design documents, or demonstrate part of
the project under development.
vi. In such cases, attendance will be taken during the sessions in which students are required to present their
initial/final project designs, intermediate reports, project presentations, etc. The number of lecture sessions
replaced by such project work will not exceed 4 lectures in a full 3-creditpoint course (2 lectures in a 1.5-
creditpoint course). Course coordinator/Instructor will inform the concerned students and MBA office at
the beginning
of the course about the days during which classes will be replaced with project work and the actual number
of sessions for which attendance will be taken during the course.
vii. In computing the percentage of attendance, the number of actual sessions held will be
considered in the denominator.
viii. For a student whose attendance falls short of 80% , the penalty will be as follows:
Let α = the percentage of attendance of a student in a course, obtained after rounding off up to the second
decimal place.
a) If α < 50.00, the student will be awarded a permanent ‘F’ in the course.
b) If 50.00  α  59.99 then the grade of the student will be adjusted as shown in the following table:
Actual grade A+ A A− B+ B B- C D F
Adjusted grade A− B+ B B− C D D D F

c) If 60.00 α  79.99, then the grade of the student will be adjusted as shown in the
following table:
Actual grade A+ A A− B+ B B− C D F
Adjusted grade A A− B+ B B− C D D F
For the Compulsory Qualifying courses if α is less than 80.00, a student having less than 80% attendance will
be awarded an ‘F’ grade. The student can make a representation to the Program Council giving reasons for lack
of attendance and the Program Council can review the ‘F’ grade on a case by case basis.
If a student’s attendance falls short of 80 percent and he/she misses the mid-term/end-term exam, the
penalties applicable in both cases would be applied, unless the student’s attendance fell short because (s)he
suffered from a major ailment requiring prolonged bed rest or hospitalization.
ix. Major Ailment - Loss of attendance and/or missing mid/end term examinations.
a) A student will be considered to have suffered from ‘major ailment’ if (a) the ailment requires prolonged
hospitalization or bed rest or isolation or it is a psychiatric illness (e.g. depression, schizophrenia), and
(b) the program office is informed in writing about the ailment within two days of hospitalization or
diagnosis, and (c) the ailment is verifiable by the Institute’s doctor or from the hospital certifying that
the student is not fit to study or attending classes. Anyone who is found to have fudged documents in
this regard will be summarily expelled from the Programme.
b) Period of ailment, as certified by appropriate medical authority, will not be counted towards attendance
calculation.
c) However, if the period of major ailment exceeds 50% of sessions in a term, the student has to
temporarily withdraw from the programme on medical ground;
d) If a student misses scheduled mid/end term examination during the period of major ailment, make up
examination will be arranged without any implication on the final grade, subject to clause (iii) above.
There will be no re-examination for these make up examinations.
e) If a student misses component(s) of evaluation, other than mid/end term examination, in a course during
the period of major ailment it will be up to the respective Course Coordinator/ instructor to decide how
those components can be compensated for, if at all.
f) For any other case(s) not included above, the same would be decided upon by the Program Council.
x. The above rules will override any individual course specific rules for attendance set by a course instructor.
xi. Students shall return to campus after their Summer Project by the day before Term-IV
commences. Students coming late will not be given weightage for attendance for classes
missed under any circumstances.
xii. Submission of the Instructor and Course Feedback is compulsory as and when notified by the MBA office
during the term. A student who fails to submit the feedback will not be allowed to appear in the end-term

examination and a financial penalty to the tune of Rs.1,000/- per case will be imposed on the student for not
giving the feedback within the stipulated deadline.
d. Leave of Absence
i. For a full time program, students are expected to be present in the campus 24x7.

and return it to the program office either on the day students return to the Institute or on the first working

Office.
ii. The Program office will announce a schedule for display of corrected answer scripts for each of the six
terms. If any student feels that a review of answer scripts is necessary either for re-evaluation or for
correction of marks obtained, a request for the same should be made in the prescribed form with a fee,
Rs.500/- (Rupees Five Hundred only) payable by cheque drawn in favour of “IIM – Bodh Gaya”. The fee

when papers are displayed for re-evaluation cannot be cited as a reason for requesting re-evaluation after
the papers for Term-VI have been displayed or after Convocation.
vii. Students or MBA students’ representatives should not directly approach an Instructor with requests
for reevaluation or for higher grades.
All requests for reevaluation of papers should be routed through the Program Office. Program Council
