Class Timings

Punctuality and Regular Attendance
Students are expected to attend classes regularly and punctually. Being on time reflects discipline and respect for both the instructors and fellow students.
Seating Before Class Begins
Students should be seated in the lecture halls at least 5 minutes before the commencement of the class. This practice ensures that sessions start on time without interruptions.
Maintaining Silence and Order
It is crucial for students to maintain perfect order and strict silence in lecture halls, drawing halls, laboratories, and workshops. This promotes an environment of focus and respect for the learning process.
Limited Movement Within the Classroom
Unnecessary movement from one bench or table to another should be avoided in classrooms, laboratories, and workshops. Movement outside the classroom during lectures should be minimal and for valid reasons only, to avoid disturbing the class.
Preparation and Necessary Materials
Students must bring calculators daily, and laboratory coats, drawing instruments, and charts whenever required. Borrowing materials from other students or procuring them after arriving at college should be avoided. It is mandatory for students to bring observation notebooks to laboratory classes and submit records of experiments before the next lab session.
Classroom Boundaries
Students should remain within their own class and should not visit other classrooms for any reason during academic hours.
Care for Classroom Furniture
Writing on desks or damaging classroom furniture is strictly prohibited. Students are expected to respect and take care of the college property, maintaining a clean and orderly environment for everyone.
By following these norms, students contribute to a disciplined and productive academic atmosphere, enabling them to achieve their full potential.
