One of the things that you'll learn about during S P Jain's BBA Orientation in September is the absence policy. The college takes attendance for every class. Really. You are allowed 4 absences in every class (you take 5 classes most semesters). After that, you need to show a medical certificate (MC) from a doctor in Singapore (or whichever country you happen to be studying in that semester).

Letter Grades -- S P Jain uses a relative grading system, meaning that grades are assigned on a curve. The top 25% of students in each class receive an A. The middle 50% get a B. The bottom 25% get a C, D or F, with at least 5% getting a D or F. Professors evaluate students using a percentage system, and the Registrar's office converts the percents to letter grades, based on the curve described above. The system is designed to prevent grade inflation, and follows the practice of organizations like Harvard Business School. You should understand this system before you arrive, because competition is very fierce for the top grades. And just because you were one of the best students in your high school doesn't mean that you will necessarily get all A's at S P Jain.
