The class committee for a class under a particular branch is normally constituted by the Head of the Department. However, if the students of different branches are mixed in each class of the first semester (generally common to all branches) the class is to be constituted by the Head of the Institute.
The class committee shall be constituted on the first working day of semester or earlier. At least 4 student representatives (usually 2 boys and 2 girls) shall be included in the class committee. The chairperson of the class committee may invite the Faculty Advisor(s) and the Head of the Department to the meeting of the class committee.
