Calculator Policy
- Calculators are NOT permitted during the gateway exam.

- It is also not permitted to use higher memory functions on a calculator, e.g.,
to store and read formulae. This will be considered (the electronic
equivalent of) using notes during exams, which is prohibited and hence
academic misconduct.
