The Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) administration may introduce biometric attendance for its students if the present practice of marking attendance on register is not followed in its true spirit, said a university source. JNU follows biometric attendance system for its staff, including the Vice-Chancellor.
In order to ensure regular presence of students in classes, JNU recently had filing of students’ attendance mandatory. According to the new rule, 75 percent attendance is mandatory for a student to appear in the exams.
