💨 Abstract

IIT Kharagpur is considering changes to its attendance policy to reduce academic pressure on students and improve their mental well-being, following the unnatural deaths of three students on campus within a year. The institute is also encouraging students to seek counselling in times of distress. The acting director stated that while the policy will not be relaxed entirely, teachers will have some flexibility in handling attendance percentages without affecting academic performance or discipline.
