3. Academic Rules and Regulations

3.1. Attendance Rules
Rajagiri students are deemed to have agreed to offer unconditional commitment to their
learning process during the two years of their study at the institute. Therefore, the residential
programme expects your uninterrupted presence at the campus. It is mandatory for all the
students to maintain 100% attendance in class sessions. Absence from classroom sessions and
from other academic activities will be regarded as an act of willful indiscipline.

No Leave will be granted for absence beyond 25% in ordinary circumstances. Absence in
classes without following the process as per the PGP Leave Procedures will result in imposing
a penalty and or deduction of class participation marks in a given course. Further, unauthorized
absence from class sessions will result in severe penalty that may, inter alia, include being
asked to withdraw from the programme.
1. Attendance is marked for each session engaged by the faculty member. This means that
irrespective of the number of hours engaged, attendance will be taken only once for each
continuous session.

5
 2. In the case of two hour classes if the student is late for the first hour, he/she will be
permitted to attend the first hour without attendance and attendance will be awarded only
for the second hour.
3. Students are not allowed to meet any other faculty member/staff during normal class
hours unless prior explicit permission has been obtained from the faculty member who is
engaging the session at that time. The responsibility is vested with the student and excuses
for being late will not be entertained.
4. A student is not permitted to leave an on-going class, unless a note is sent from the
principal.
5. The classes for the first year students begin at 8.30 am and the first half hour is dedicated
to Business News Paper reading. The attendance for this half hour will be calculated as
part of the first hour (ie between 9 am and 9.50 am). Absence or late arrival for the
newspaper reading hour will result in loss of attendance for the entire first hour up to 9.50
am.
6. A student will not be allowed to write the End Semester Examinations (ESE) for a
semester unless he/she gets a minimum of 75% of attendance for each course in that
semester. In case the faculty member engages more than 60 hours, the first 60 hours only
shall be accounted for calculating percentage of attendance.
7. Attendance in Special Programmes:
i. There are a number of co-curricular/certificate/remedial programmes organized by the
college. They are meant to serve specific purposes. Student attendance and
performance in these programmes is compulsory unless instructions have been issued
otherwise by the concerned faculty members.
ii. If students who have been listed for such programmes do not meet the requirements,
they would attract strict sanctions including disciplinary probation (exclusion from
specific services or participation in privileges / extra-curricular School activities as set
forth in the notice of disciplinary probation for a specified period of time).
iii. For programmes where the students are expected to compulsorily attend, absence by
the student will result in the student losing his/her attendance for the whole day (eg.
Industry interaction).In the case of “Rajagiri – In Pursuit of excellence” Lecture
Series, absence by the student will result in the student losing attendance for the next
three days.
iv. For programmes whose marks have been linked to the internals of a course, non-
participation or non-performance will lead to a proportionate reduction in the internal
marks for the respective course.
v. For pre-placement activities, a student’s non-cooperation or non-participation can
result in disqualification from the placement services provided by the college and
proportionate loss of attendance according to the duration and nature if absence.
vi. Assessment Centre: Students will not be allowed to attend the exercise if they come
late. Late coming and absenteeism will result in serious consequences.
8. Any planned mass absences of a group/ class/ batch of students will result in serious
consequences. For those who lead/ participate in these kind of activities whether it is a
scheduled class or training activity or an institutional function, serious action will be taken
against those who are involved.

6

A student must intimate the PGP office in the case of any serious illness or hospitalisation as
soon as possible from the date of diagnosis or hospitalisation.

office if his absence on account of ill health exceeds five consecutive working days.
2. This certificate and letter should be submitted by the student not later than two days

3.2. Evaluation Components

The Institute follows a system of continuous assessment through multiple methods of
assessment to monitor students’ performance. The assessment is done to measure the
knowledge, skills, and application ability, identified as intended learning outcomes. The course
teachers assess understanding of concepts, theories, business practices and applications
illustrated and discussed in respective courses. The assessment is done to help students achieve
the learning outcomes of the programme and to motivate them throughout the programme. In
addition, the Assessment is done to differentiate the students according to their academic
performance.

Evaluation Components Students are assessed based on the following components

(i) Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA)
(ii) End Semester Examination (ESE)

a. Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA): Under CIA, the students are evaluated on
continuous basis throughout the semester through various assessment tools such as quizzes &
tests, assignments & projects (group/individual), Case Study Analysis, Examination or any
other technique (as specified by the Faculty teaching the course). Components under
Continuous assessment are assessed by the Faculty/instructor and given marks for each
component. The total marks of CIA will be aggregated based on weightages (of different
components) to arrive at the overall percentage of marks under CIA. A detailed course plan
indicating session wise topics for each course and evaluation components shall be handed over
to the students at the start of each semester. Continuous internal Assessment will have a
weightage of 40% of the overall assessment. The marks required for pass in CIA is 50% (i.e.
20 marks out of 40). No student shall be permitted to appear for the ESE of a particular course
unless he/she secures at least 50% marks in the CIA in that course. The details are as follows:
Evaluation component – CIA and ESE
Component Max. Marks Pass %
CIA 40 50 % (20 out of 40 marks)
ESE 60 50 % (30 out of 60 marks)
50 % (50 out of 100 marks, with
Total 100
separate 50% pass for CIA and ESE)

7
b. End Semester Examination (ESE): The End Semester examination is conducted in each
paper/subject to assess the analytical and conceptual comprehension of the students and the
skill to use the knowledge through case and/or problem solving exercises. Out of total, 60%
percent weightage is given to this assessment. The marks required for pass is 50% (i.e. 30
marks). (please read following section to get details)

3.3. Examinations
There shall be three sets of examinations conducted in a semester – two continuous assessment
examinations (CAE 1and CAE 2) during the semester and End Semester Examination (ESE)
at the end of each semester. CAEs are conducted out of 40 marks and carries a weightage of
7.5 marks each, thus 15% weightage for two CAEs together. ESE carries 60% weightage. The
CAEs are of two hours duration and the ESE is of three hours duration for each course. The
marks required for a pass is 50%. There is separate minimum of 50% for all courses for CIA
and ESE.

the years,. As per the mutual agreement with Day Zero Recruiters, students have to register
for the most desired opening/s with only one organization and hence will not be eligible to
appear for the recruitment process of other recruiters on Day Zero’. If a Pre-placement talk
is scheduled well before the registration for ‘Day Zero’ openings, participation in those
sessions will be notified in the communication. Other than ‘Day Zero’ placements, students
may register for any interested openings, provided they satisfy the criteria to apply for such
openings.
viii. All registrations for final placements are to be done online. However the mode of

normally required for a drive like Blank sheets, Pencil, Pen, eraser etc.
xiii. Final selection of a student through the placement process requires considerable investment
in terms of time, effort and cost to the recruiting organization and Rajagiri. Hence rejection
of an offer by the students after the commencement of process is considered as highly
unprofessional and unbecoming of a Rajagiri student. Any such cases will lead to debarring
from subsequent placements or other appropriate disciplinary actions.

location preferred by the company for recruitment and both will be considered as on-
campus placement. The students from other colleges also may join the RCBS students in
the campus placement process if the company and OCR decides to do so.

as off-campus placements and those students are free to continue with the campus

5.5. Student Grievance Redressal Procedure

The grievance of a student shall be taken sympathetically and the student shall be given a fair
chance to state his/her viewpoint.

a. Purpose
To provide a clear and fair process for the reporting and resolution of student grievances.

b. Scope
The grievance process applies to academic and non-academic student grievances, including
student complaints of unlawful discrimination or unfair treatment. These grievance
procedures are available to any student of the institute involving an alleged violation directly
affecting the student, by any member of the institute acting in an official capacity or due to
any rules of the institute or programme the student is enrolled.
The grievance process in general applies to complaints arising under any of the following:

 Academic matters: Academic matters include those which relate to student progress,
assessment and examinations, curriculum and attendance.

 Non-academic matters: Non-academic matters do not include ‘Academic matters’

outlined above. These may typically relate to decisions or actions involving human
rights, financial matters, procedures and policies, handling of personal information
and access to records or any other matter that is not considered Academic

c. Student Grievance Redressal Procedure:

In resolving the grievances of students concerned with any member of the institute acting in
the official capacity, Rajagiri management will ensure that both the parties to the grievances
are heard properly and the grievances are supported by facts and evidences.

There are three stages or levels of Student Grievance redressal :-

Level I : Informal Resolution
Before initiating the official grievance redressal procedure, the student is expected to attempt
to settle or resolve the grievance directly with the person(s) involved as early as possible. Every

20
reasonable effort should be made to resolve the matter informally at this level. A satisfactory
outcome might be achieved through this discussion. If not, the student can proceed to Level II
of resolution.
Students uncertain about how to proceed with the grievance can consult with the Batch
Coordinator in order to identify the appropriate person. The student should contact the
concerned person within 5 working days of the occurrence of the grievance.

Level II : Formal Complaint

If student grievance is not resolved satisfactorily within 10 working days of communicating
the grievance to the concerned person, students may lodge a written complaint to Students
Welfare officer regarding the grievance. The student should attach all the relevant information
they have to support the complaint and the efforts done as per Level I of the procedure, to the
officer. The student Welfare officer should meet the complainant and the concerned persons as
he or she deem appropriate for gathering information and to resolve the matter. The officer
shall submit a written decision to the Students Grievance Redressal Cell. Student Grievance
Redressal cell members are – Executive Director & Principal; Head of the Department and
Student Welfare Officer. Student welfare officer for MBA 2017-19 batch shall be the
respective batch coordinators.

Level 3 : Decision by Executive Director

Based on the facts and the supporting documents submitted by the Students Welfare Officer,
the Executive director and the Principal shall take the final decision in consultation with the
Student Grievance Redressal Committee. The decision by the Executive director and the
Principal will be final.

5.6. Support System for Non Keralite students

As an institute Rajagiri welcomes diversity among its student fraternity, and the management
are committed to providing an environment that cherishes diversity. In order to make non
Keralite students adjust to the culture, location and way of life in Kerala, we have introduced
a Buddy system.

Buddy System: Students from outside Kerala are paired with a senior student who has
volunteered to support the new comers. The pairing is done a week before the commencement
of classes, so the support can be offered before they reach the campus. The buddy system aims
to smoothen the transition into a new culture for non-Keralite students through information,
tips, advice, support and friendship.

As a part from the buddy system, there is also a team of faculty who are available
especially to the non-Keralite students, for academic and non academic concerns. The team of
faculty and their cabin is mentioned below:
i. Prof. Saji George, RSOM, 1st floor, Faculty wing II
ii. Prof. Jessy Fenn, 4th floor, RBS
iii. Prof. Imran Ahmed Khan, 3rd Floor, RBS

6.9. Social Networking Etiquette
Social media has transformed the world into a more open, connected and transparent place. As
a student, you should be aware of how social media can help you create and nurture
relationships, share information, communicate opportunities, advance knowledge, raise
awareness, build support, participate in important conversations, and collaborate on new ideas.
In spite of all these positive outcomes, it is imperative that you follow certain basic social
networking etiquettes. Please make sure you observe basic social courtesies when you are
posting to a discussion forum or different social networking sites.
These guidelines are to ensure appropriate and effective use of social media and will evolve as
social media evolves.

o DO Not Harm : Students should ensure that your authorised use of different social media
does not harm or otherwise defame the institution, its faculty, its students, its alumni or its
staff.
o Security : As with any other digital and online devices, it is essential that you educate
yourself about the security measures and update the requirements
o Students are ambassadors for Rajagiri and their testimonials are powerful. We appreciate
students sharing the value of their Rajagiri experience and the value of our educational
services with their online networks.
o Respect any confidential or proprietary information shared by RCBS. Blogs or social
networking posts may not disclose any, “insider information” or other confidential or
proprietary information or violate any privacy policies.
o Students are advised not to use their school email address for social media sites
o When including your Rajagiri affiliation in your social media profiles, it’s best to include
the full name for clarity and search-ability.
o Rajagiri’s visual identity (its logos and moto) are the trademarked property of Rajagiri
College of Social Sciences. The use of such assets without permission is prohibited.
o When commenting about Rajagiri, its faculty and staff, its students and alumni or anyone
affiliated to the institute, we encourage students to challenge ideas and opinions, but
remember that personal attacks are prohibited. The social web is a great place for learning
and sharing, but is not the ideal forum for resolving issues and concerns. We encourage
students to bring any concerns they may have directly to Rajagiri management’s attention
(in person, via telephone, or via e-mail), so they can be addressed.
o In the event that students are creating content, such as a blog, that focuses on his/her
personal opinions but includes his/her Rajagiri affiliation in the headline or bio, please
make it clear that the view expressed in the blog are his/hers alone, and do not necessarily
represent the views of the institution.

Please note that the Rajagiri’s Code of Conduct for Students extends to conduct in all forms
of social media.

31
6.10. Final Note
The guidelines are meant to direct the students in a path of self-discipline and help them to
function independently as responsible members of society. The spirit of the Rajagiri approach
is expected to be followed in areas that have not been specifically addressed. The following
disciplinary actions have been enumerated in this report:

1. Fines.
2. Censure (written reprimand that may include the possibility of more severe disciplinary
sanctions for continued misconduct).
3. Disciplinary Probation (exclusion from specific services or participation in privileges /
extracurricular school activities as set forth in the notice of disciplinary probation for a
specified period of time).
4. Restitution (time, money, service) if damages are involved.
5. Suspension (exclusion from classes and other privileges or activities as set forth in the
notice of suspension for a definite period of time).
6. Expulsion (the conditions, if any, of eligibility for readmission shall be stated in the
recommendation of the Staff Council/Disciplinary committee).

While disciplinary actions have been included, repeated offences will be addressed and handled
by the college administration as they deem fit.

Note: All fines collected are deposited in the Student Welfare Fund which is operated by a
committee constituted by the Principal for the welfare of the students.
