Attendance is mandatory for all examinations, lectures, seminars, moot court sessions, and college events. The students’ attendance, performance in seminars, classes, and moot court, as well as their progress in college examinations, will be taken into account when determining their eligibility for the university examination.
Students must conduct themselves in a manner that does not disturb fellow students or other classes, both inside and outside the college premises.
While classes are in session, students should not linger or gather in the college premises. They should refrain from engaging in any activities, whether inside or outside the college, that would interfere with the administration and functioning of the college.
Students are responsible for the proper care of college property and must assist in maintaining a clean and tidy environment. Any damages caused to college property will need to be compensated by the student.
No societies, associations, organizations, or collections shall be formed in the college or in the name of the college without permission from the Principal.
