PGP Handbook - Institute of Public Enterprise

Class Schedule
The classes will be normally scheduled on all the
working days. However, the students may note that,
whenever required, the faculty members in consultation
with the Course Coordinator can re-schedule the
classes, even on holidays and outside the normal
class hours.
Attendance
The Institute insists on punctuality and regular attendance
by students in all classes. Active participation
of the students in classroom discussions is essential
and this carries weightage for internal evaluation.
Prior permission from concerned Course Coordinator
must be obtained for leave of absence. Any
non-compliance is viewed as a serious breach of code
of conduct, and the student concerned will be duly
advised or warned. If any student persists in such a
deviant behaviour, the Course Coordinators may recommend
to terminate the enrolment of such a student.
In case of absence due to sickness/illness, condonation
to a maximum extent of 10 percent of aggregate
attendance is granted only on the production
of medical certificate from a qualified registered and
practicing medical doctor. Absence for any other reasons
has to be supported by proper evidence to the
satisfaction of the Course Coordinators.
Notwithstanding the above provisions, every student
shall have to maintain a minimum attendance of
85 percent in each subject, except in case of condonation
on medical grounds, when the minimum is 75
percent. Failure to satisfy the attendance regulation
will result in not being permitted/allowed to write the
respective end-semester examinations.
Academic Conduct
The above regulations regarding attendance hold
good even during the period when the student is on
project work. IPE expects every student to conform to
all the requirements of attendance in order to avoid attracting
the penal provisions mentioned above.
The faculty may insist on the students to attend
the maximum number of sessions in his/her course
and will be free to adopt any measure to regulate attendance
or penalise absence to ensure smooth and
uninterrupted learning in his/her class.
The students are enjoined to keep track of the
several modes of internal assessments practiced in
the Institute. They are advised to get the details of
the assessment modes from the concerned faculty.
They are also advised to note that it is the responsibility
of the students to attend all the tests/
assignments conducted in each subject. Failure to
do so, without prior permission of the faculty member
concerned, in any test/assignment may result in
the student foregoing the benefit of score, which he/
she would have otherwise obtained. The faculty will
not, as normal course, conduct the test/assignment
again for such students, unless prior permission is
obtained.
Students are advised that the code of conduct
require that no one will be allowed to enter the class
room five minutes after commencement of the class.
Similarly, no student is expected to walk out of the
class while the class is in progress. The students are
not expected to cross converse or talk in the class
room while the lecture is in progress. The cell phones
should be switched off in the class rooms. The concerned
faculty member or the Course Coordinators
may view these acts as breach of discipline and may
take appropriate action as deemed suitable.
