I’m a college student in India and I’ve been barred from taking my annual exams due to low attendance. I explained to the college management that my low attendance was because of my mental health, I’ve been struggling with depression due to personal difficulties. Despite this, they haven’t listened and have refused to let me sit for the exams. I feel utterly lost and hopeless, and I don’t know what to do. I’ve faced challenges throughout my life, including a disability and a medical condition. This situation feels like one failure too many. I need legal guidance on how to proceed. Can someone please help me understand my rights and options?

Indian law allows for students to be excused from exams due to medical reasons, including mental health conditions. You can approach the college with a medical certificate from a qualified professional explaining your situation and request a chance to take the exams later. If they refuse, you can consider approaching the college’s grievance redressal committee or the relevant regulatory body for higher education in your state.
