d) For condonable break of study:
i) If the lack of attendance is within condonable limits as per Clause No. 12, the candidate
shall be permitted to write the examination for the current semester.
ii) If there is non-condonable lack of attendance, the candidate shall rejoin the program at
the respective semester as and when it is offered after the break and shall be governed by the
rules and regulations in force at the time of rejoining.
e) The total period for completion of the program reckoned from the commencement of the
semester to which the candidate was first admitted shall not exceed the maximum period specified in
Clause No.6 irrespective of the period of break of study in order that he/she may be qualified for the
award of the degree.
f) In any case, a candidate shall be permitted to temporarily break the study only once during the entire
duration of the program. The candidate shall forfeit the registration in case of a second break or in case of a
non-condonable break ofstudy.
g) Without prejudice to the above rules, the candidate who has completed the attendance requirement for
a semester, but has proceeded on a condonable break of study without appearing for the University
Examination, shall be permitted to appear for the examinations without repeating the semester and thereafter
continue the subsequent semester.
