A typical contingent will be much smaller than the size mentioned above, however one or two times the contingent size may reach or exceed the given tentative size. The Students' Gymkhana almost always participates in the festivals/competitions whose names have been bolded. For festivals marked with a *, there is no need for a student to apply for leave (either because it is held in Kanpur, or because it is held during the vacation period of the Institute). Since most of these festivals are organized on weekends, most students participating in a given festival will need leave for a maximum of two days. No student will participate in more than 2-3 events. In particular, no student will exceed the maximum 5 working days limit for non-medical short leave given in Clause 8.2 of the UG Manual. The Students' Gymkhana will not participate in all the festivals given above. The above is an indicative list of the types of events in which we participate. Typically, each Council will only participate in a few events, but the events in which the Council will participate will change each year. For example, the Cultural Council may decide to participate in Fiesta in the year 2014-15 and Alcheringa in the year 2015-16. In this case, the Council will not participate in Alcheringa in 2014- 15 and Fiesta in 2015-16. The above list cannot be made exhaustive (especially for the Games and Sports Council) as there are many events/competitions/festivals which are not organized every year and whose invitations are received during the year (not at the beginning). Thus, there may be events which are not in the above list in which the students may want to participate in. The contingent size for the Films and Media Council includes students who are participating in online competitions (and hence, would not require leave). .
