 +  * Those with CS 215 (Data Analysis and Interpretation) as backlog, can complete the requirement by registering for any equivalent course such as EE 223 or CL 202. Note that CL202 is an eight-credit course and CS 215 is a six-credit course. If a student is crossing the credit limit of his category by 2 credits because of CL202, the student will be given an exception for two extra credits. Please contact your faculty advisor to avail the exception.
 +  * Students in the ARP can complete up to 4 courses through NPTEL, as approved in Senate: https://www.iitb.ac.in/newacadhome/ugrulebook202017July.pdf (page 15, item 4.4). The DUGC page gives the feedback that was sent to the institute. A change that happened in the recent Senate meeting is that these courses will only count for credit requirements, and the grades will not be used for SPI/CPI calculations. The main point is if the student is in ARP this is allowed, otherwise no for core courses.

-  * **EE112 in place of EE101 as institute core**\\ "Branch change students can substitute EE112 in place of EE101 as an institute core course. This is because EE112 already covers the necessary background material for the Digital Logic Design course. They CANNOT choose to do both courses (EE112 and EE101) though, due to the overlapping content."

 +  * **Leave approval**\\ Without explicit permission, UG students cannot be absent from campus during academic activities. UG students can request for special leave during the semester. Please follow the procedure that is mentioned in the [[https://www.iitb.ac.in/newacadhome/rulesUG.jsp|UG rule book (look for special leave)]]. The students should not approach the instructors for special leaves. A student must first contact his/her faculty advisors for a recommendation. If the recommendation is granted, the head of the department grants or rejects the leave. If special leaves are granted by the head of the department, the course instructors are required to compensate the student for any missed evaluations. The instructors are free to choose their policy of compensation for the special leaves. [[private:dugc:2022-09-28-minutes|2022-09-28 DUGC]]
