(2) The Board shall also appoint a Panel of Supervision for each student, normally composed of three members as follows: the Director of the Institute as chairman, and two other members, one of whom being the principal supervisor, provided that when the Director of the Institute is the principal supervisor, he shall not be appointed chairman.

(3) The Panel of Supervision shall follow, as it deems fit, the progress of students through the course, provided that it meets at least once every semester to review such progress.
