CHEAT CODE FOR ATTENDANCE

For long I wanted to document the fraudulent approaches that we take or see others take during our college life . With all due respect to my teachers and to my college , i have started to document it on the Teacher's day, say ,as a sign of confession. Below are listed some of the cheats that we used for the purpose of avoiding Attendance Shortage during college days.



CHEAT CODE FOR ATTENDANCE:

1. Its not a cheat ,but a kind of warm up exercise. Try switching roll numbers between you and your friend when called for attendance. Like, you could call out your friends number and the friend will call out yours.

2. Traditional method of Proxy. Make sure that you do not sit in the same seat daily, so that the teacher will not recognize you easily.

3. If you want some of your foe(say,his no. is 32) in the class to lose attendance, then make the guys in roll number before(no.31) and after(no.33) the foe's to call out their numbers consecutively, fast and loud such that your foe's voice gets masked and thus he shall be marked absent.

4. Depending on whether the attendance is taken at the beginning of the class or at the end, different approaches can be made.

(Prerequisite: You should sit as close to the door as possible )

First, if the attendance is taken at the start, make use of the time taken by the teacher to settle down after taking the attendance. In this time gap , slide out through the door fast. To be on safer side , just walk to the door casually as if you wanted to throw a waste paper into the dustbin(which should be near the door). Or you can also use the MENTOS AD method.

5. Similarly, if the attendance is taken at the end of the session,then bunk the class in the beginning and jump in only for attendance. Here, you make use of the time gap availed by the teacher to rest and clear the doubts of the students after the day's class. Excellent time maintenance is required for this and it can be achieved by SMS ing the guys in classroom about the situation. Once the conditions are favourable you go near the door (outside the class), make your friends on the other end of the class to draw the attention of the teacher by calling him/her towards them to ask for a doubt and then slide in to be present for the attendance.

6. Arrange some of your friends from the other class or department to come to your class (after the attendance is taken for you) and call you out for some reason.Some of the reasons may be like...
a. "Your parents have come."
b. "HOD called." (no one questions the HOD)
c. "Called by the Administrative Dept." (To look genuine, prepare a list of your friends whom you want to take out and call them out by their numbers and not name, also ask them to come with their ID cards,etc.)
d. Any cultural or technical event happening in the college.

Be as dramatic as possible !

7. More often than not, you have group of guys from other departments and classes coming to your classrooms in the middle of the session to campaign about their function. They shall hand out flyers to be pinned in the class notice board to the first benchers. Now you take the responsibility of pinning it to the board(this should happen as everybody's focus is on the guy on the stage who's yelling nonsense) and thereby get camouflaged among them and move out with them.

8. The first benchers are considered to be studious and genuine by the teachers and often , after the attendance is taken the "attendance slip" is kept in the visibility of them. Occasionally he could help us by striking out our number from the marked list of absentees.

9. In a class, there are always some 5 members who are regular in coming late to the class. If the attendance had already been taken ,they are simply allowed into the class and the attendance is filled only at the end of the class. You(The bunkers) could make use of this opportunity to join them just at the end to claim attendance.

10. Besides all these , if you still lack in your attendance, make use of the facility of OD forms. For this , you need to apply for OD when and where possible, even if you dont need it.Also, keep track of all the hours and days you bunked the college. Manipulate the dates in the OD form to favour your needs.

If you have any more ideas on it , do post it.

it reminded me of rame very much... then... our first sem habit with physics sir...
Sir: Roll Number 1?
Students: Went to dept sir.
Sir[marks present]:2?
Students: Went to dept sir.
Sir[marks present]:3?
Students: Went to Canteen sir!!!
Sir[marks present]: 4?
hehehehe... it won't work with everyone beware...

another way for getting ppl to be marked absent... when he shouts his number, get someone to consecutively shout absent... would work with fools again.. :)
