STUDENT ATTENDANCE REGULATIONS : 2010-11 (MIT, Manipal)

All the students are required to attend all the classes in each subject. However, it is mandatory for a student to have a minimum of 75% attendance in individual subjects, for being eligible to write the end-semester examination, in compliance with the University Norms. In case of Laboratory classes, completing all the experiments is a pre-requisite for in-semester assessment. This 25% condoning of the attendance takes care of his / her absence due to medical / personal reasons and there is no question of considering any medical certificate when a student has deficiency of attendance beyond 25%.
Generally, the above 25% condoning of the attendance includes his / her absence in the class on account of representing the institute / university in the co-curricular / extra-curricular activities. However, as an encouragement to the students involving in such activities, further condoning of attendance up to a maximum limit of 10% of the total classes held in the individual course in that semester may be permitted, subject to the following conditions:

  1. The desirous student must apply for the same and obtain prior permission (in writing, in the forms available in HOD’s Offices) from the respective HODs / Section Coordinators (in the case of First Year), without which no request for condoning of attendance will be entertained. HODs / Section Coordinators may deny permission in cases of the student having CGPA ≤ 5 and attendance ≤ 75% at that instant.
  2. The student has to obtain authentication in the same form, from the concerned authorities (listed below) authenticating his / her participation in the said activity and has to produce it to the HOD of the concerned department strictly within two weeks after the event. No letter received after this duration will be entertained by the HOD for condoning of attendance.
  3. HODs will further instruct the concerned teachers handling the course to consider such cases for condoning of attendance, subject to a maximum ceiling of 10% of the total classes held in that course.
