No Relief for Previous Affidavit Submissions
The college administration specifically warned students who had submitted affidavits in the previous semester due to low attendance. Submitting an affidavit in the past does not grant any exemption or relaxation in the current semester. All students must strictly complete the required 66.7 percent attendance by attending regular classes.
Consequences of Low Attendance and Next Steps
Since an admit card is compulsory to enter the examination hall, withholding it will bar students from taking the tests. No separate exemptions or additional arrangements have been mentioned for attendance shortages. Students are advised to take the following steps:
- Attend regular classes to complete the required 66.7 percent attendance.
- Check their attendance records.
- Contact the college administration if necessary to understand their attendance status.
- Confirm their admit card details with the college before the exams begin to avoid last-minute issues.
