NEW DELHI, DEC. 2. They may be students of law, but they clearly missed reading the rules of this one. Found well short of the required attendance, nearly 25 per cent of Delhi University's first year law students will find themselves outside the examination room for not taking the attendance rules seriously this year. According to University authorities, as many as 300 students have had their admits cards turned down for the first year final semester examinations which started today with the first paper of the Campus Law Centre. The number, however, includes students from the Campus Law Centre, Law Centre I and Law Centre II. Angry students had apparently protested at the Campus Law Centre premises on Tuesday and Wednesday, with eight students being detained for vandalism. "The rules are much more strict after we started enforcing the Bar Council of India's orders that ask for a 66 per cent attendance for every paper and semester. The rest of it could be accounted for holidays or health or sport related leaves. Although the order was given out over five years ago, we enforced it from this year,'' said Rajiv Khanna, Prof-in-Charge of the Campus Law Centre. University officials also point out that since the prospectus clearly states the attendance rules, students cannot complain of not being warned. "No prior warnings were given to the students as the semester system means that we get the attendance report only before the exams begin. But then, this is not the first time that attendance has created problems. It is almost an annual feature, with students protesting when denied the admit card because of attendance shortage,'' Dr. Khanna said.
