Hyderabad Institute of Technology and Management (HITAM), being affiliated with Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad (JNTUH), enforces a strict academic policy regarding student attendance. Every engineering student must secure a minimum of 75% attendance in each individual course to be eligible to write the end-semester examinations.
This mandate is not calculated as a cumulative average across all courses. For instance, if you have 90% attendance in Mathematics but only 70% in Physics, you will still be flagged for attendance shortage in Physics. If a condonation is not granted, you can be detained from appearing in the Physics exam.
Detention means you are barred from appearing in both internal and end-semester examinations for the course in question. Detained students must repeat the semester or the entire year, depending on their backlog status and university guidelines.
The subject-wise requirement applies to:
While the standard minimum is 75%, JNTUH guidelines recognize that genuine issues (such as medical emergencies or representing the college in sports/cultural events) can prevent a student from attending classes. For such scenarios, JNTUH allows a concession called attendance condonation.
Condonation is only applicable to students who fall within the range of 65% to 74% attendance. To apply for condonation, students must submit a formal application accompanied by genuine documentation (like medical certificates issued by registered practitioners) and pay the prescribed condonation fee at the college office.
| Attendance Percentage | Academic Status | Required Action |
|---|---|---|
| 75.0% and above | ✓ Fully Eligible | Safe. Maintain your current attendance and manage your bunk budget. |
| 65.0% – 74.9% | ⚠ Shortage (Condonable) | Must apply for condonation, submit medical certificates, and pay fees. |
| Below 65.0% | ✗ Detained | No condonation is permitted. Detained from writing end-semester examinations. |
Attendance percentage is calculated as the ratio of classes you attended versus total classes conducted, multiplied by 100. To perform manual calculations, you can use the standard equations below:
Let's look at two common worked scenarios to see how attendance adjustments work in practice:
Consider a student with the following attendance record for a course:
Math: Current % is \(37 / 50 \times 100 = 74.0\%\). If the student attends the next 2 classes, the record becomes \(39 / 52 \times 100 = 75.0\%\), clearing the shortage.
Consider a student planning their bunk buffer with high attendance:
Math: Current % is \(72 / 80 \times 100 = 90.0\%\). If the student skips 16 classes, the record becomes \(72 / 96 \times 100 = 75.0\%\). The 17th bunk would drop them below 75%.
Your "Safe Bunk Budget" is the number of conducted classes you can skip without your attendance dipping below the 75% limit. The mathematical formula to find safe bunks is:
If the result of this formula is zero or negative, you have no safe bunks left and must attend all subsequent classes to avoid dropping below the 75% threshold. Practical sessions have a much smaller class denominator, meaning a single lab class skip can drop your percentage dramatically compared to theory classes.
To recover from an attendance shortage, you must attend a consecutive run of future classes. The number of consecutive classes you must attend to pull your percentage back to 75% is computed as:
When planning recovery, calculate your Maximum Possible Attendance %: \((Attended + Remaining) \div (Total + Remaining) \times 100\). If this number is lower than 75%, it is mathematically impossible to reach the safety mark even by attending every remaining class.
The SaveMy75 interactive tool simplifies attendance planning by running forecasting equations in real-time. Instead of executing manual calculations, the engine instantly computes:
Tracking attendance manually using notebooks or spreadsheets is tedious and prone to mathematical errors. Students often miscalculate the impact of practical lab sessions or fail to factor in remaining classes. SaveMy75 automates this tracking process. For students looking for automated solutions, the mobile application syncs directly with the HITAM ERP portal, compiling records automatically without manual entry.

All calculator estimations, safe bunk budgets, and recovery projections are math-based predictions intended solely for academic planning.

Calculations assume standard rounding parameters and count classes as equal weight units. Attendance records must always be cross-referenced with your official academic counselors before making critical scheduling decisions.
