Visit this link for leaves allowed during articleship http://220.227.161.86/14490student_manual_22.pdf
In point 5 it is stated that examination days will not be considered as leave days.
So coming to your calculation:
Total leaves taken 247 Less: leaves allowed 180 Less: examination days 36 (3 attempts given) Less:sundays during preparatory leaves 0 EXTENTION PERIOD 31 DAYS
So extension will be for 31 days and not 13 days as per ur calculation and not even 60 days as per ur principal.
When u are paid even for not working on sundays how can u exclude sundays for calculation of leave period. So sundays not excludable during leave period also.
