Telangana High Court Faults Attendance Rules for Ignoring Medical Needs

Telangana High Court Faults Attendance Rules for Ignoring Medical Needs

A court in Telangana looked at rules for college students and found them a bit unfair.

The rules say if you don't get good grades, you can still move to the next year if you attend class.

However, the rules don't make any exceptions if a student is too sick to attend class, which is what happened to a student who had to have surgery.

The court said that schools need to think about both how often students come to class and also if they are doing well in their studies.

In this case, the court said the student should be able to continue with their studies.
