If a student is unable to attend an internal exam, it can have a negative impact on their final grade. However, the institute has a provision that allows students to request a re-exam if they have a valid and genuine reason for their absence. To take advantage of this opportunity, students need to provide a prior letter or a valid explanation for their absence to the appropriate authorities. This gives the student a chance to make up for the missed exam and potentially improve their overall grade in the course.

There is no coordinator in the arrangement of functions and the events are held for just the name sake only and the college doesn't give much importance to events or programs.

Failing in internal exams won't have adverse effect on the students. Attending the internals is enough as far as I know. The staff will allow students to appear for the semester exam by giving the required marks necessary for passing the internals. There would be a total of 3 internals and a model exam. So you should only have to pass in any other case.
