I modified this code from How to create attendance sheets? For this code the output looks like -

Expected output looks like -

The column afterB/12 has no vertical bar. Why?

The problem is in your \aline macro. You only have 4 & symbols (giving 5 columns). You need 15 of them. — Sandy G, Jan 10 '18 at 06:07
@SandyG yes, you are right. But, why the vertical bar is ovelapped the title? — alhelal, Jan 10 '18 at 09:27
Your columns are too narrow. Simply change p{0.5cm} to p{0.7cm} — bmv, Jan 10 '18 at 13:05
Or make the font smaller (e.g., scriptsize) in the title entries. — Sandy G, Jan 10 '18 at 13:55
@alhelal: There is a padding in the table called tabcolsep. You can change it: \setlength\tabcolsep{<whatever length>} — bmv, Jan 10 '18 at 16:16
