What are the basic criteria to get an exemption if you are an old syllabus student and transferring to a new syllabus?
Now, let’s first understand the basic criteria for getting Exemption.
Whether a student is appearing for a single group or both groups and somehow he/she didn't clear the exam but got 60% and above marks in any particular subject, then he/she is eligible to get an exemption in the next term in that particular subject only.
Each group is treated separately. Exemption of one group doesn’t affect the exemption of another.
Exemptions are automatic and they will be indicated via sign available on the mark sheet. It becomes easy to understand. But they are valid for only three immediate succeeding exam terms. Keep this mind that by any chance exemption will not be carried forward beyond three attempts in any case. So try to clear it within these 3 consecutive terms. Also, while filling out the form for the next term, do provide the details of the exemption provided by the Institute.
Most of the students who aim for the rank, think about surrendering their exemption because if you avail exemption in any subject then you are not eligible to receive any rank. In order to achieve rank, you need an overall aggregate and that also without any exemption.
Now, that we have understood all the basic criteria. Let’s understand this if you are an old syllabus student and converting to a new syllabus and having doubts whether your exemption will be carried forward to the new syllabus or not. You don’t have to worry, here you will get to know in detail about that.
