the notice of the authority, the student concerned shall be given a chance to explain and if his explanation is
not found satisfactory, the authorities would expel him from the University.

less than 75%.
3. A candidate who has an attendance of less than 75% shall not be permitted to sit for the end
semester examination in the course in which the shortage exists.
4. However, it shall be open to the department to grant exemption to a candidate who has failed to
obtain the prescribed 75% attendance for valid reasons on payment of a fine and such exemption
should not under any circumstances be granted for attendance below 65%.
5. The department will announce the names of the students who are not eligible to take the end
semester examination in the various courses. Registration of such students for their course should
