Academic Terms

There are three terms in an academic year. The duration of each term is as follows:

Term Duration
Spring Term January - April
Summer Term May - August
Autumn Term September - December
Registration Procedure

Successful candidates in the admission test are required to complete their registration formalities before the commencement of the term. The admission office will notify them about their time and place of their registration. In addition to submission of all documents for admission, students are required to make payments of all fees at the designated bank account for their registration to be completed. A student seeking admission after due date may be permitted to register within the stipulated date by paying late registration fee. Students are permitted to register even after due date of the admission by paying late registration fee within the stipulated date.

Student’s Advisor

After admission, every student will be assigned an Advisor from the teachers of the relevant discipline to guide him/her throughout the term. The Advisor will maintain a student card containing complete academic records of the student, a duplicate of which will be supplied to the student at the end of every term.
Course Withdrawal

A student can withdraw a course by a written application to the Head of the department through his/her course advisor on or before the last day of instruction. The Head of the discipline will inform it to the Chairman of the Examination Committee and the Controller of Examinations.
Course Repetition

A student may retake a course with a grade of < B (less than B) if he/she thinks that improvement of the grade is necessary and possible. In case of retaking a course a student must register for the course again and will have to pay tuition fees as per rule.

If a student has to repeat a course and that course is not offered any more, she/he may take an equivalent course designed by the syllabus committee. However, there must be an appalling reason for such a retake.
