All students are required to register each semester for the courses to be pursued by them, as per the programme, on the dates specified in the Academic Calendar. A student must ensure that he/she has completed the pre-requisites, if any, for each course to be registered.
All courses of core curriculum which happen to be pre-requisites for subsequent courses in the core and/or the professional curriculum are offered in both the regular semesters or in one regular semester and one summer term put together. The sole responsibility for registration rests with the student concerned .
1 Registration Procedure
A list of courses to be offered during the semester is put up on the notice boards/ website and is made available to the Registration Advisor. Registration Advisor is a faculty member to provide necessary information on the core-curriculum courses offered and changes, if any, during registration in each semester. The registration procedure involves:
• filling of the registration form mentioning the courses to be credited in the semester
• payment of fees and clearance of outstanding dues (if any), and
• signing of the registration roll in the office of APEC.
A student who awaits the final result of the qualifying examination is allowed to register provisionally on submission of a certificate from his/her last institution stating that he/she has appeared in the final examination (both theory and practical). The candidate is required to submit documents of having passed the qualifying examination by the last date given in the Academic Calendar to get his/her registration regularized.
2 Registration of a Deficient Student
A deficient student is one who either has not taken or has taken but failed in course(s) of previous semester(s). The deficiency may be due to poor grades, not registering course(s) for health and /or other reason(s), etc.
The programme of a deficient student must be framed in such a manner that as many backlog courses as are available are included. Further, backlog courses must be arranged as far as possible in the sequence of their accumulation. A deficient student may be advised not to register for the professional courses if his/her CPI is less than 5.0 or he/she has a total backlog of more then five courses of the core-curriculum.
Note: Registration of deficient students is done as per the recommendations of APEC.
3 Late Registration
If for any compelling reason like illness, etc. a student is unable to register on the day of registration, he/she can register on the late registration day (i.e., after about a week from the beginning of the semester) specified in academic calendar on payment of the late registration fee. However, if a student seeks prior permission to register late on valid grounds, Convener, APEC may allow and exempt him/her from payment of late registration fee.
4 Adding and Dropping of Courses
A student may add or drop course(s) within two weeks of the beginning of the semester or the last date(s) specified in the Academic Calendar with the permission of the APEC. For this, he/she must fill the appropriate form, get the endorsement of the Instructors–in-Charge and the Convenor, APEC and submit the form to the Undergraduate Office for approval.
A student may be required to drop a course at any stage if it is found that he/she does not meet the pre-requisites of the course, or if there is a clash in the student's time table preventing him/her from attending the course, or if he/she is found not entitled to register for that course for any other reason.
