Well this is a surprise post even to me! You see NITK has a 75% minimum attendence requirement to clear a subject and until now our batch of '09 (Which btw has been blasphemised as the worst batch ever) had no issues as the teachers were understanding enough to conveniently overlook that particular criteria as long as our academic performance was satisfactory.. Before we knew it, we were in final year and hey- thats a party season nah? With placements, GRE, TOEFL, IELTS and other big words we felt we had valid reasons to.. ahem.. relieve the profs of having to see us daily.. BIG MISTAKE!
We all were getting warnings about the attendence, esp as 2- count it- 2 deans of our college are from our dept; including the all important Dean of Academic Affairs! But ignoring them as usual this time came back to haunt the majority of the class..
Case in point: Nov 1st, 2008.. The day of the 1st endsem and our focus rudely shifted to the HOD and other profs calling a few of us and giving them the news: WE ARE GONNA SUBMIT THE ORIGINAL ATTENDENCE AND MARKS SHEETS TO THE DEAN'S OFFICE SO GOD HELP YOU SUCKA'S.. MUHAHAHAHA (Ok maybe not as directly but the effect was the same)

See above the class hovering outside the HOD's office in a vain attempt to show strength of masses! Needless to see it didnt work and now we gotta see what happens. Though I may not be in any problem here, I will still breath easy when its all behind us :)
