DEGREES OF M.B., B.S
1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Faculty of Medicine
ATTENDANCES AT LECTURES, DEMONSTRATIONS AND PRACTICAL WORK
(Sections 1, 3 and 5)
Attendance at lectures is not compulsory except for students in the First Year. However, attendances at demonstrations, practical work and clinical instruction are compulsory for students in all years of the course and, in addition, competent performance in carrying out the duties and work pres- cribed in all subjects is required. Failure to comply with these require- ments may lead to disqualification from presenting at examinations. Stu- dents so disqualified will usually be notified in writing by the faculty of Medicine, but the faculty is not bound to give such notification.
Students prevented by illness or other serious cause from satisfying attendance requirements should report their absences to the secretary, faculty of Medicine, so that dispensation may be granted by the faculty, if necessary.
On commencing Division Ill students should purchase a Certificate Book (price 40c) at the Accounts Branch of the Vice-Principal's Office. It is a student's responsibility to have the details of all certificates entered, the certificates signed by the authorized persons, and the Certificate Book submitted to the University at any time when asked by the Registrar. No student will be permitted to present for the final M.B., B.S. examination unless all certificates have been signed by the authorized persons and the certificates submitted as evidence of the satisfactory completion of all details prescribed for the course.
The provisions in the details and time-table as to the number of lectures, tutorials, etc., and the hours of practical work are included for general guidance only, and may be modified by the faculty without notice if the necessity arises.
VACATION STUDY
Students are expected to use a considerable part of the vacations for read- ing and study purposes. In some cases specific references are made in the following details; in others a list of suitable books will be posted on the appropriate notice-boards; in all cases of doubt the lecturers con- cerned should be consulted.
HONOUR WORK
Except in subjects where special details are published, the syllabus for Honours will be the same as that for Pass, but the Examination for Honours will require the candidates to attain a higher standard and to show more detailed knowledge.

Faculty of Medicine EXAMINATIONS
Apart from the final M.B., B.S. examination, there are no supplementary examinations. At all examinations during the course certain students may be required to present for extra tests during the examination period.
Students should consult departmental and clinical school notice-boards for information about examinations.
Students will be admitted to the final M.B., B.S. supplementary examina- tion only on the recommendation of the Chairmen of the Boards of Examiners.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATION AND SPECIAL EXAMINATIONS
If your studies during the year have been affected by illness or other serious causes, apply in writing for special consideration, together with a medical certificate, to the Registrar before the commencement of the examination period.
If you cannot sit for an examination because of illness or other serious cause notify the Registrar in writing, with a medical certificate or other evidence, immediately.
If you become ill during an examination, see the Supervisor and notify the Registrar in writing immediately.
REPETITION OF YEARS AND SUSPENSION FOR UNSATISFACTORY PROGRESS
In accordance with R 2.5, students who fail in the Division I examination may repeat the year only if permitted to do so and if re-selected in the quota. Those who fail in the Division I examination twice, and those who, at their first attempt, perform in a manner considered to be unsatisfactory or who are absent from the examination without an acceptable excuse, may be suspended from the course.
Similarly students who fail in the Sub-Division IIA and Division II exam- inations may repeat the year only if permitted to do so. Those who fail in these examinations twice, and those who, at their first attempt, per- form in a manner considered to be unsatisfactory or who are absent from the examinations without an acceptable excuse, may be suspended from the course.
Normally there are no restrictions upon repetition of Divisions Ill and IV, but disciplinary action may be taken in cases of unsatisfactory progress.
Repetition of a year involves repetition of all attendances and other re- quirements in all subjects.
