Class Representatives
Students of each program need to elect two members (preferably one male
and one female) as their class representatives. The class representatives may
change over the course of two years. The class representatives participate in
the class committee meetings, which will be held twice during each semester
with faculty teaching courses and faculty advisers and provide feedback to
their faculty members on the academic and other issues. Further they also
facilitate scheduling of extra classes as per concerned faculty requests. They
act as the points of contact for faculty members and the Students Office on
various issues.
