The final examination is conducted during the 15th week. Students have to strictly follow the deadline instructions failing which the students will not be awarded marks for that particular assessment method. If a student for some reason, (because of personal emergency, falling sick) misses the mid-term or final examination he/she should report immediately to the course instructor and the Vice President Academic Affairs for an appropriate action to be taken. Incomplete course work or missing out any examination will result in F grade, unless the student submits an Incomplete coursework in order to get an I grade upon the agreed terms/conditions after 2 weeks of start of the next semester, automatically this I grade becomes F if the student does not fulfill the requirements of the course.
