Exam Leave to include Sundays or not ?????

sundays and public holidays are not to be included.

Only the Holidays (including Sundays) during the exam period are to be treated as working and not leave.

 So if you take 6 months'  leave, the exam days (including the intervening holdiays and sundays) are treated as working and not as leave. However, the off-days between two exams that are not Sundays or Holidays are treated as leave. Similarly, all the Sundays and Holidays during the 6 month period excluding during the perod of  the aforementioned exam days are very much treated as being on leave. The whole confusion has happened because of some students misreading the exclusion of exam days alongwith the intervening holidays and extending the same to the non-exam days preceding the exam period in a leave of 180 days.

It is simple as that : if you take a leave of  30 days  that includes diwali and other holidays including Sundays,  you are on leave for whole period. If this 1 month included exam days (say 6 days) then 6 days plus Sundays (say 1)  or holdiays (say 1) between the exam days (in all 6+1+1 days) would not be treated as leave and your actual leave would be reduced (to 30-6-1-1= 24 days).

Logically seen, when you are not on leave and you work for say 180 days, for every 6 days you work (or 5days in case of 5 day week), you get Sunday off which is not treated as leave as it is an earned weekly off. You worked for 6 days and earned a weekly Sunday off that is treated as working.  So approx 26 Sundays in 180 days are not treated as leave because these are earned by you by "WORKING". However when you are on leave for next 180 days, you are not working or training for 6 days every week to earn Sundays or holdiays so they are also treated as leave, except for exam days. Since the institute treats exam days as working days, any Sunday or holdiays intervening these exam days are also treated as working days being earned as the exam days are treated as working.

Hope the confusion and misunderstanding in this respect is clarified for good now.

Cheers!
