This decision was made in light of previous notices sent to students urging them to meet the minimum attendance requirement under Delhi University guidelines.
Students have been given the option to provide documents or evidence to support any claims they may have made that they met the minimum attendance requirement. They also have until December 12 to correct any attendance discrepancies.
“Some students were genuinely absent due to extracurricular activities such as sports, but there are some pursuing courses outside or focusing on their family business instead of attending classes,” said Arun Kumar Attree, principal of Sheikh Sarai College as reported by the Time of India.
