Students who wish to take leave must submit a leave application in writing duly countersigned by their guardian and Department Coordinator to the institute; at least two days before the due date on which they wish to proceed on leave, except in case of emergency.

The student will automatically be dropped from the semester if the medical leave exceeds thirty days.
