The Calcutta University authorities on Saturday asked affiliated colleges to ensure that students were not allowed to appear for examinations if their attendance is below 60%. It was decided that students will not be given honors if they get below 40% marks in a stream. Also, they will not be eligible for pass if they secured below 30% marks in both theory and practicals.
CU Pro-Vice-Chancellor Dipak Kar informed principals of several colleges at a meeting that 60% attendance is a must for appearing in examinations for undergraduate and post-graduate courses. Kar also said there would be more Multiple Choice-type Questions (MCQ) across all streams from the next academic session. From the next academic session, Bengali, English, and Environment answer sheets will be in OMR format, he said.
