1. At least three months notice is given to students so that they can plan for their leave, if required.
2. Not more than 5-7 days (including Saturdays and Sundays) are required for Contact Programmes.
3. Contact Programmes are organized for only those subjects for which study materials have been sent/assignments were required to be submitted, so that students are in a better position/fairly well equipped to understand the subjects and do well in their exams/career.
