  • Students can only have writing implements and a water bottle with them when writing the exam. In particular, no cellphones or other forms of electronic equipment are allowed.
  • Students are not allowed to carry the additional sheets provided during the exam while leaving the the exam hall. All extra exam sheets should be returned to the invigilator.
  • Instructors who wish to have open book exams will have to inform Ms Rajeshwari Nair in advance and make special arrangements so that such exams are held in a separate room, to avoid confusion.
  • Use of the toilet will be restricted. A physical "token" will be kept and only one student may leave the room at a time, in possession of the token.
  • Instructors/invigilators can expel students from the exam room for violation of the exam rules.
  • Instructors are empowered to fail students for cheating.
  • Examination booklets, extra sheets, thread and the toilet pass will be avaialable in the Admn Office (instructors should take only the required number of examination booklets).
