Leave of absence granted on basis of these circumstances is limited to 25% of the academic contact hours for the course. In cases of long period of illness or major personal tragedies, a college principal can relax the minimum attendance requirement to 60%. In order to apply for leave, students have to submit leave application to the teacher conducting the course. The teacher will forward the application to relevant HOD. The leave application is finally sanctioned by the HOD. If you want to avail medical leave that exceeds three days, you must provide valid medical certificate along with the leave application.
