    General rules and code of conduct expected of the students:

    Regularity and Punctuality will not be compromised at any cost. A


    student has to be present in the lecture room before the attendance is called
    upon. Student entering the class after the roll call has been made would be
    marked as absent.
    A thought provoking, friendly environment is desired in the class. Discussions
    on the lecture at appropriate intervals are highly desirable and encouraged.
    Any mode and medium of communication is welcomed. All of this is
    supposed to comply by the rules and disciplinary requirements maintained
    by the university.

    Quizzes are surprise tests and can be conducted at any time without
    prior information to the students.
    The final exam will NOT be descriptive in nature and will comprise of
    analytical questions/Blanks to be filled-in/MCQs requiring contemplation and
    numerical analysis. The students, therefore, are relieved form memorizing
    the topics word by word. Instead the emphasis is on digesting the concept in
    full and it is expected of the students to be able to improvise their knowledge
    in their examinations.

    The heights of great men, reached and kept,


    Were not attained by sudden flight;
    But they, while their companions slept,
    Were toiling upwards in the night
    (Henry Longfellow)
