You would be marked A, i.e. Absent on your mark sheet in the paper that you were absent.

  • If you were absent in all of the papers, it will simply appear on your marksheet as Absent and the final result will be declared as Fail. You will not be able to take admissions in the next year.
  • If you were absent in only 1-2 papers and passed in all of the other papers, then you will get ATKT (Allow to Keep Term) which means that you will get admission in your next year.
  • One more important thing to remember is that, for the absent paper, you will not get any Condole marks (grace marks given by the university to pass the exam) in the future. You will have to clear those subjects in the future.

It’s best not to miss the exam.

One of my friends recently graduated from Shivaji University. According to him, it is quite different from other universities. Let me share the tips he provided which might help you in the beginning of your 1st year.

  • First of all, try preparing for the university exam from your first day of college, if scoring good marks is important to you.
  • There will be a lot of assignments given to you. Try completing them in the given time with proper precision. As this will be beneficial for your university exams.
  • You must be accustomed to self-study as depending completely on the faculty members might lower your chances to score higher marks.
  • Concentrate on the practicals as they will provide hands-on experience.
  • Make sure you maintain a 75% attendance. Attendance also depends on your internal marks so prepare well.
  • For theoretical questions try writing lengthy and informative answers, as this will fetch you good marks.

Lastly, try maintaining good behavior by being punctual, attentive, and sincere. If you fail to behave properly it will affect your internal marks, which will overall affect your scorecard.

  • There are many temples to visit like the Mahalaxmi temple and Jyotiba temple situated on hills. 
  • You can also visit Panhala fort which is nearby Kolhapur.

  • You can start by solving Aptitude, mathematical and logical questions.
