What was it like to get D/F/F* at BIT Mesra?

One of my friends shared a story of his batchmate at BIT Mesra who got a F* in DS Lab and theory in the second semester. 

• For anyone not belonging to this institute, an F indicates the shortage of attendance. You need a minimum of 75% attendance to be able to sit for the exams. 
• My friend fell short in DS Theory by 2 lectures as he had gone to his brother’s wedding. The professor knew him well and said that he understood his circumstances and there was no need for any fake medical and that he would be fine and attendance would also be taken care of. 
• But, in the end, it turned out, the professor completely forgot about it and he had his name on the list. 
• He was informed about theory one, during the end semester exams, just two days before his DS exam. He appeared for the exam and no one said a word. 
• He already had an F in DS Lab and thought about registering for theory one as well in the summers because the seniors told him that his exam won’t be evaluated.

It was a spring semester. The results weren’t out by then and had he waited for the results, he would have to wait for another year to give the exam. So, he registered the papers that summer and cleared them. He got an A in both and hoped that his spring semester would be carrying an F, which it did.
