How should a student proceed if they receive an 'F' or 'AB' in the net grade but have passed the practical component?

If a student receives an 'F' or 'AB' in the net grade but has cleared the practical component, they only need to reappear for the end-term theory exam of that paper for essential repeat.

What does it mean if a student’s marksheet shows a ‘not satisfied’ grade in lecture (GRL) but a ‘satisfied’ grade in practical?
