If the period of absence in a semester is for a short duration (of not more than one week) prior application for leave should be submitted to the Head of the Department clearly stating the reasons for absence along with supporting documents. The Head of the Department will grant such leave at his discretion. He/ She may be allowed for makeup of Laboratory/workshop classes conducted during the period of absence.
Absence for a period not exceeding one week in a semester due to sickness or any other unavoidable reason for which prior application could not be made may be condoned by the Dean Academics, provided he is satisfied with the explanation.
If the period of absence is likely to exceed one week, a prior application for grant of leave should be submitted to the Head of the Department.
