This incident happened in Section B of my my batch. Since I have not taken permission of the people involved, I would call them by code. During their HRM lecture, professor was taking attendance. L wanted to give proxy for P. So when Sir called P’s name L raised his hand. Somehow Sir noticed something fishy. Here is the conversation after that -
Sir: For how many lectures have you been present?
L:Ummmmm…
Sir: Ok. I will rephrase the question for you. How many lectures have you missed?
L: (How would I know, how many lectures P has missed. He usually doesn’t attend lectures. So..) I guess 3-4 lectures…
Sir: My dear, according to this attendance sheet, you have attended all the lectures!!!!
Can you imagine L’s face after this?

I guess it is not easy to fool an HR prof. :)
I'm curious to know what happened when L's name was called. Btw how strict is the attendance?
Attendance is not strict, though there is tht obvious scare of 75% cutoff. But no teacher exercises tht right (just like VJTI). Proxies in the other section rampant but my section being smaller it is usually difficult to do so, unless the teacher is not serious abt attendance. There are also cases where guest faculty ask me to mark attendance on the sheet which means I have to mark everyone present!!!
