Will MAKAUT allow students to sit for exams if there is poor attendance?

Despite having full control, MAKAUT rarely interferes in students’ affairs regarding attendance and choice of subjects. The decision of allowing students to sit for exams in case of poor attendance lies with the respective department. 

Here are a few policies adopted by the department in case of poor attendance.

• In case your attendance is below 70%, a letter is written to the HOD and then it is forwarded to the Exam cell of the institute.
• If your attendance is below 60%, you will have to meet the HOD along with your graduation and an apology letter
• In case your attendance is below 50%, you will have to meet the Principal or the Dean.
• Those having attendance below 40% are required to submit medical documents justifying their poor attendance.
• If your attendance is below 30–20% you will not be allowed to sit for exams unless you justify your situation with proper documents.

So, the decision to not permit students to sit for exams is the last step and is taken only during extreme situations.
