The DSW reminded the candidates that they must have 75% attendence in their current session, to be counted from the date of commencement of classes to one day prior to filing the nominations. The rule is one of the Lyngdoh Committee guidelines.

In departments where an internal examination system is in place, students who have passed the previous examinations as per the department’s records will be considered eligible for contesting elections.

Departments have been asked to issue identity cards to students well in time so that there are no holdups at the gates. They have also been directed to not hold freshers’ parties during the election period.
