Kochi: Students of Kochi University of Science and Technology can now take menstrual leave. This is the first time in Kerala that a university has given this kind of menstrual leave.
The university authorities have decided to provide 2% additional leave benefit in each semester in CUSAT. At present only those who have 75% attendance can write the semester exam. If the attendance is less then the semester examination can be given if the medical certificate is provided. But a medical certificate is not required for menstrual leave.
Earlier, MG University had granted maternity leave to the students. This is the first time in Kerala that a university has granted maternity leave to female students.
