A regular course of study during an academic semester means a minimum of average attendance of 75% of all the courses of the semester computed by totaling the number of periods of lectures and practical's, as the case may be, held in every course. In special cases where sufficient causes were shown, the Vice-Chancellor may on the recommendation of the Principal and Head of the Department concerned condone the deficiency in the average attendance to an extent of 9% for reasons such as ill health, if the application for condonation is submitted at the time of actual illness and is supported by certificate of authorized Medical Officer approved by the Principal. However, in the case of students, who participate in activities like N.S.S., N.C.C, and Inter-Collegiate tournaments conducted by JNTUK, Inter-University tournaments conducted by Inter-University Board and any such other activities involving the representation of the College/University with the prior approval of the college concerned authorities.
