For UG students: Permission to proceed to another institution as a non-degree student does not imply that the student will automatically get waiver from the academic and other requirements of his/her ongoing undergraduate programme at the Institute. However, on return, he/she may apply for waiver with an official transcript of the grades obtained by him/her at the selected institution as a non-degree student and other documents/material that the concerned DUGC may require for evaluation.
The DUGC will determine, by whatever means it deems fit, the equivalent courses (credits) and/or requirements for which the student may be given a waiver in his/her undergraduate programme at the Institute. On the recommendation of the DUGC, SUGC may allow a student waiver for a maximum of 100 credits in-lieu of his/her successful completion of the programme elsewhere as a non-degree student. Against each course or requirement for which a waiver is granted, the grade 'W' would appear on the Grade Report with an explanatory note that it stands for waiver granted due to courses taken and/or work done at the elected institution elsewhere. All such courses and/or requirements will be deemed to carry zero credits for SPI/CPI calculations.
For PG students: Permission to proceed to an institution as a non-degree student does not imply that the student will automatically get any waiver from the academic requirements of IIT Kanpur. The student after completion of the work, will apply for waiver from requirements of his/her programme at IIT Kanpur supported by an official transcript of the grades obtained and whatever material the DPGC may require for the purpose given in para (vii) below.
The concerned DPGC will evaluate the work done by the student and will make recommendations to the SPGC after determining by whatever means it deems fit, the equivalent IIT Kanpur courses/requirements for which the student may be given a waiver. On the recommendation of the DPGC, the SPGC may allow the waiver for a maximum of 16 units. Against each requirement for which a waiver is granted, a W would appear on the transcript with an explanatory note that W stands for waiver for work done at the Institution concerned. All such requirements will be deemed to carry zero weight for SPI/CPI calculations.
