If attendance is poor, parents are called up. Atmosphere is like "3 idiots" movie if you are not in scholars list of teachers then you are nothing, you wont get any help or support from teachers. And one thing I would like to mention is teachers are not at all co-operative (@comp branch) even if you commit a small mistake eg. no journal submission at given time or you are not consistent in your marks then they are very strict and they will keep you on hold and ignore you during submissions.
