At VELS Institute of Science, Technology, and Advanced Studies (VISTAS), internal exams are essential for determining a student's overall grade, or GPA, in a specific course. If a student is unable to attend an internal exam, it can have a negative impact on their final grade. However, the institute has a provision that allows students to request a re-exam if they have a valid and genuine reason for their absence. To take advantage of this opportunity, students need to provide a prior letter or a valid explanation for their absence to the appropriate authorities. This gives the student a chance to make up for the missed exam and potentially improve their overall grade in the course.
