If you miss the internal exam, you will be given zero marks for the respective subject. This can be detrimental because the internal marks from unit tests contribute to the overall internal marks, which are necessary to pass the semester. Failing to obtain the required internal marks can result in having an internal backlog. Similarly, if you miss the semester exam, you will be marked absent, and you will have a backlog for that particular subject. To clear the backlog, you will need to appear for a retest in the next semester, which can add to your academic workload and may delay your progress.
