PROJECT AUTO-EXTENSION POLICY

● Number of Extensions Available:

The DSBA Online program allows a maximum of three, one-week extensions for the
projects to the learners for medical issues and other commitments.

● When can you Opt for an Extension?

Extensions can be opted only when you apply for them through the Olympus portal
before 11:58 PM on the project submission deadline. No exceptions will be made.

● Consequences of failing to submit the project in case you have opted for an Extension:
If you have opted for an extension but fail to submit the required file before the new
specified deadline, one of the three allotted extensions will still be exhausted. It is
imperative to carefully consider the automatic extension policy, as once the extension is
applied for, it cannot be retrieved.

● Consequences of applying for an Extension but submitting the project before the original
deadline:
If you have opted for an extension but submitted the project before the original
deadline, one of the three allotted extensions will still be exhausted. It is imperative to
carefully consider the automatic extension policy, as once the extension is applied for, it
cannot be retrieved.

● Procedure for Extension Requests:

All extension requests must be made through the Olympus portal. Requests
communicated directly to a Program Manager via call/message/email will not be
accommodated. Only extensions applied via the Olympus portal will be considered.
