Dear Swapna,
First let's see whether an employee is sponsored by the organization to pursue his / her higher study or not? If he / she is sponsored by his / her employer, then the said employer is suppose to grant him / her special leave i.e. Paid Leave during the examination period. But the concerned employee must intimate in writing with due annexures of documents (Leave application with Admit Card) as a proof of examination at least 1 week before he / she is officially allowed to go on leave after due sanction & approval by the authorities. During this period, the employer is to make certain adjustment of human capital till the examinee/employee resumes in the office.
On the other hand, if an employee pursues himself / herself higher study (s) for his / her personal career advancement then he / she has to take prior approval / permission from his / her employer before he / she finally takes into admission according to his / her own choice. When exam time comes, an employee has to submit his leave leave application with the admit card being annexed thereto in advance to get it sanctioned & approved by the designated authorities. In this case the said employee be offered to give his / her option either to convert those leaves into CLs (subject to availability balance of leaves-Paid Leaves) or "Leave Without Pay (LWP) < Without taking into account the balance of leaves >" .
I also do agree with Mr. Madhu for his general remark "Previleges become Right". At least HR deptt. of every organization must maintain a neutral position to implement certain HR policies those are uniformily applicable to all it's employees working at any level so also answerable to the management for the better interest of the organization. Thank you.
