Correspondingly, students with attendance percentage between  20 to 29.99 will not be allowed to appear for two papers while those with 10 per cent to 19.99 per cent attendance will be barred from appearing in three papers. Those students who have less than 10% attendance will not be allowed to appear for any paper in th exams.

However, the notification provides exemption for candidates registered in the fifth semester if they have enrolled in the Learning Outcome based Curriculum Framework. However, such candidates have also been asked to submit the undertaking. 

Notably, the move from the college administration comes following the deadline given to students of the college to submit a valid proof justifying their absence from the class set for December 12. Previously on December 8 and 11, the Shaheed Bhagat Singh College also notified students enrolled in different programmes on the college with attendance shorter than the minimum criteria laid down by the Delhi University.
