Some of the students who have not complied with the requirements but sought enrollment to Examinations are being issued Admit Card for appearing in the Examinations on provisional basis.

The date of passing the Bachelor’s Degree Examinations should be within six months of the date of registration and in case the actual date of passing the Bachelor’s Degree Examinations is beyond six months period, the registration will in any case be cancelled without further notice. Hence, those students who are yet to submit the certificate(s) are advised to immediately upload scanned copy(ies) of the requisite certificate(s) at “Manage Account” option followed by “Certificate Details” option at their online account at www.icsi.edu and may contact the Institute at Tel. No. 011-33132333 / 66204999 in case of any further query. 8. Candidates are advised to locate and visit the venue of the examination centre beforehand to avoid any inconvenience on the day of the examination. 9. Candidates will be allowed to enter into the Examination Hall 15 minutes before the time specified for the commencement of each examination and occupy their allotted seats in Examination Hall. No candidate shall be allowed to enter into the Examination Hall after the expiry of half-an-hour of the commencement of examination and no candidate shall be permitted to leave the Examination Hall until the expiry of one hour after the commencement of examination. 10. The seating arrangements of the candidates shall be displayed on the notice board at the entrance of the examination centre. Candidates will find their roll numbers written against the seats allotted to them at the examination hall/ room. They should occupy their allotted seats only. 11. Candidates are not required to appear in the paper(s) in which they have been granted paper-wise exemption as shown in the Admit Card and Attendance Sheet. In case of any discrepancy in regard to paper- wise exemption shown in the Admit Card and/or Attendance Sheet, it should immediately be brought to the notice of the Superintendent of Examination Centre and the Directorate of Student Services of the Institute in writing through e-mail at : exemption@icsi.edu or at Telephone Number No. 011-33132333/66204999 for necessary clarification and confirmation. However, exemption in any paper(s) of examination should not be assumed unless confirmed in writing by the Institute. 12. The paper-wise exemption in any paper(s) of the examination, once sought by the candidate and granted by the Institute remains valid and is printed in his/her Admit Card (Roll No.) and taken on record for computation of his/her results unless it is cancelled by the student by submitting a formal request to the Institute. Exemption once cancelled on student’s request shall not be revived subsequently under any circumstances. Candidates fulfilling the eligibility conditions under 60% Marks Criteria have been granted exemption(s) in the respective papers and such exemption(s) has/have been shown in the Admit Card. The status of available exemptions is also available in the individual accounts of the students at: www.icsi.edu under “Programme Information”. Further, if such candidates appear in any paper disregarding the exemption granted as shown in the Admit Card, the exemption will be cancelled by the Institute without notice and shall not be revived under any circumstances. 13. It is reiterated that the paper-wise exemptions granted to the students are cancelled on submission of a formal request at exemption@icsi.edu and also in the event of reappearance in the respective papers by the students despite an endorsement reflecting the exemption granted in the Admit Card. 14. It may be noted that in some cases, the exemptions granted in accordance with the various provisions contained under the regulations are inter-related with other exemptions granted and cancellation (or appearance) in any one of the papers may result in cancellation of exemptions in all the inter-related papers. For example, if a candidate has been granted paper-wise exemptions in three papers on the basis of scoring 60, 62, 58 & 10 Marks respectively in the four papers contained under Module-I of Executive Programme in previous session and in case he/she appears or cancels the exemption in any one out of the three exempted papers, all the three exemptions shall be cancelled since the exemption criteria in this case is applicable only if all the three papers are taken together. Candidates are, therefore, advised to be extremely careful while seeking cancellation or while appearing in the exempted papers, as the final result will be computed considering the actual marks scored on reappearance and/ or the deemed absence in the papers as the case may be. In other words, candidates appearing in the exempted papers despite an endorsement to the effect in the Admit Card shall be doing so at their own risk and responsibility and the Institute may not be held responsible for any eventuality which may arise at a later date. In case of any doubt regarding the applicability of rules regarding the exemptions, it would be better if the candidates seek prior clarifications from the Institute by writing at exemption@icsi.edu before appearing in the examination of exempted subjects or seeking cancellation of exemptions granted. 15.
