Readmission

Readmission for students in good academic standing

A student who, for reasons beyond control, discontinues studies may apply for re-admission into the same program for any number of times provided that the maximum duration of stay in the program, counted from the date of the first enrolment, has not expired or will not have expired before completion of the program following re-admission. Such readmission shall be to the same semester that the student discontinued studies. However, a student who has 80% attendance shall be readmitted before two weeks to the final exam.

  • The applicant is required to provide documented and acceptable justifications for his/her withdrawal.
  • Readmission is subject to the availability of space, facilities and the necessary budget.
  • When there are changes in the curriculum, the status of the student will be determined accordingly at the time of his/her application for readmission.

 Readmission for academically dismissed students

A student may be readmitted after dismissal provided all of the following are fulfilled:

  • The dismissal was not due to acts of violation that resulted in his/her termination with the university and such readmission is subject to availability of facilities and necessary budgetary allocations;
  • The student may apply for re-admission at least after one semester following withdrawal from the University except for CEP students who may apply for readmission at any time. However, a student may only be re-admitted into a semester when there are enough courses that the student is eligible to register for and there exists a likelihood that the student will raise his grade point to the required level after removing any deficiencies which should not take more than one year

The maximum duration of stay in the program has not expired or is not likely to expire before the completion of the remaining courses of study.

A dismissed regular student, who is re-admitted and allowed to repeat a course or courses in a given semester, maybe dismissed indefinitely, for not attaining good academic standing upon determination of status. However, such students may be admitted as new students into the CEP as per the rules and regulations of the CEP program.

 A student re-admitted into a program after dismissal shall not be entitled to dormitory and cafeteria services.

  • A first-year student dismissed at the end of the first semester with a SGPA/SANG of not less than 1.0 shall be readmitted.
  • A first-year student dismissed at the end of the second semester with a CGPA/CANG of not less than 1.50 shall be readmitted.
  • A second-year student dismissed at the end of the first and second semester with a CGPA of not less than 1.67 and 1.75, respectively shall be readmitted.
  • The readmission cut off points for the third year and above students at any semester shall be 1.8 (year three), 1.85 (year four), 1.90 (year five), 1.92 (year six and above).
  • Any readmitted student may be allowed to repeat courses in which the student scored "(1.75 or C-) or (1 or D)” or "(0 or F)" grades with the approval of the students’ academic advisor/head of the Academic Unit.
  • A student can be readmitted any number of times if he/she can graduate within the duration of study period as long resources are available.

Re-admission to the Graduate Program

  • A candidate in good academic standing who discontinues studies with good reason may apply for readmission through the Registrar into the discontinued semester.
  • A candidate suspended for disciplinary reasons qualifies for automatic registration as soon as the student has served the term.
  • A candidate may be readmitted only where the withdrawal is effected owing to any of the reasons specified hereunder.
  • If the candidate cannot follow-up the program for medical reasons in which case the health status shall be ascertained by a medical doctor.
  • If the University is unable to carry out the relevant program and advises the candidate accordingly.
  • A candidate who has been dismissed for academic reasons may apply for readmission on the following grounds:
  • if the student, at the end of the first semester, had obtained a SGPA of not less than 2.00.
  • if the student, at the end of the second and third semesters, had obtained a CGPA of not less than 2.5 and 2.75, respectively.
  • No student who has been dismissed on academic grounds shall be readmitted more than once regardless of transfer from other Universities.
  • A candidate who withdraws from the GP without the approval of the concerned DGC/SGC shall not be eligible for readmission.
  • Withdrawal made with the approval of the concerned DGC/SGC does not imply automatic readmission whenever it is sought. The length of absence and the number of places available shall be taken into consideration.
