Discipline towards Leadership

Attendance
• 100% attendance in all academic and co-curriculars, is essential. Exemption upto 15% is given only in case of hospitalization or full day rest prescribed by doctors. For all other authorised or unauthorized absence a penalty @10 hrs of library work per absence per session has to be completed during student’s free time. Also, if the physical attendance in any learning activity is below 85% including medical rest / hospitalisation, the student will not be allowed to take exams and tests. Attendance will be compiled week to week. It is the student’s duty to keep a tab on attendance. If medical rest / hospitalisation exceeds 15% or anyone absents otherwise, such absence has to be compensated by library reading @ 10 hrs per session absented. Without that and 85% actual physical attendance no one will be allowed to take exams. Anyone with less than 85% Physical attendance will have to repeat the trimester by paying the full fee or discontinue studies at SCMLD

• Damage to anyone's property inside or outside the campus will attract fines - individual or collective, besides disciplinary action.

• Damage to / stealing of, institute property, library assets etc. will attract collective fines to recover the cost and / or to replace the things.

• Absence from co-curricular activities will attract separate penalties including doing double of the assignment / process / work / survey / activity.

• A detailed code of conduct has to be signed by every student, which acts as an advance notice to abstain from misconducts.

• We repose a lot of trust and faith in students and hence will be extremely happy and privileged if we are spared of taking unpleasant actions by students being self disciplined and of good character & behaviour.

• On admission every student admitted has to sign an undertaking that he/she is joining SCMLD for employability / entrepreneurship building programmes with focus on execution / doing / implementation and leadership skills rather than for a qualification, and therefore will participate in all action learning activities including all the learning & leadership crucibles as designed from time to time. And for formal qualification he /she will undergo IGNOU programmes as applicable if keen on doing it and not as a compulsion. This undertaking has to be countersigned by parents. However, students have the option to pursue either SCMLD programme or IGNOU programme or both. Those who wish to only have IGNOU programme, classes will be in the evening or during weekends. They cannot avail of any SCMLD processes.
