ATTENDANCE RULES

In order to be eligible for their examination, students have to maintain a minimum of 90% attendance in all classes (including morning classes) and at rehearsals and productions.

In addition to attendance, punctuality is required for all classes, exercises, lectures, rehearsals, etc. Late attendance for three days or absence from three
classes will be treated as equivalent to one full day’s absence.

The above requirement of minimum attendance may, however, be relaxed in exceptional cases at the discretion of the Director.

The attendance of students at the above percentages will be calculated on a semester basis and any student failing to fulfill the required level of attendance will not be allowed to appear in the semester examinations.

Such students will have to forfeit the right to continue their studies in the School.

BAN ON RAGGING

Selected candidates and their parents shall give an undertaking in the prescribed form vouching for the good conduct of the student. Violation of the undertaking would result in appropriate action including suspension/expulsion. This undertaking is required to be given as per the order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court dated 04.05.2001 in W.P.(C) No. 656/1998, the relevant portion of which is quoted below:
