Required attendance %

Add the total number of classes that will be held this whole term to also see how many of the remaining classes you can skip.

Enter classes attended and classes held to see your attendance percentage, how many classes you can safely skip, and how many you need to attend to recover.

This is a planning estimate. Colleges differ on what counts toward attendance (lectures vs practicals, condonation, medical or duty leave), and your institution's official attendance register is the authoritative record. Always confirm against your own college's rules before relying on a bunk-budget.

The 75% attendance rule, explained

Most Indian universities and colleges require students to attend at least 75% of the classes held in a subject to be eligible to sit for the end-semester examination. The norm comes from university and regulator guidelines (UGC guidance for general higher education, and AICTE rules for technical programmes) and is enforced through each institution's own academic regulations, so the precise threshold and the way it is applied differ from one college to the next.

If you fall below the requirement, many institutions offer a condonation process - typically for a shortfall band such as 65-74%, on documented medical or other genuine grounds, often with a fee. Condonation is granted at the institution's discretion and is never guaranteed, so the safe assumption is that you need to hit the full requirement on your own. Always confirm the exact rule, the condonation band, and what counts as attendance against your own college's regulations.

How to calculate attendance percentage

Attendance percentage is a simple ratio: attendance % = (classes attended / classes held) × 100. "Classes held" is the total number of sessions conducted so far, not the number scheduled for the whole term.

Worked example. You attended 32 of the 40 classes held so far: 32 / 40 = 0.8, and 0.8 × 100 = 80%. Because 80% is above a 75% requirement, you currently have a buffer - the calculator above turns that buffer into an exact number of classes you can skip.

How many classes can I bunk (and still keep 75%)?

Once you are above the required percentage, you can miss classes until your attended-to-held ratio falls to the requirement. The calculator finds the largest number of upcoming classes you can skip back-to-back while staying at or above your target.

Worked example. Say you have attended 45 of 50 classes (90%) and need 75%. You can skip the next 10 classes - 45 / 60 = 75% exactly - but not an 11th, because 45 / 61 = 73.8%, below the line. The count assumes you attend every class after the ones you skip; if more classes are scheduled later, run the numbers again.

I am below 75% - how do I recover?

When you are below the line, every class you attend from now on raises your percentage (the numerator and denominator both grow by one), and every class you miss lowers it. The tool computes the minimum number of consecutive upcoming classes you must attend, with no further misses, to climb back to your requirement.

Worked example. You have attended 60 of 100 classes (60%) and need 75%. Attending the next 60 classes without a miss gets you to 120 / 160 = 75%. If only a handful of classes remain in the term, recovery this semester may be mathematically impossible - add your total term classes in the optional field above and the tool will tell you the best percentage you can still reach.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 75% attendance rule in Indian colleges?+
Most Indian universities and colleges require students to attend at least 75% of classes in a subject to be allowed to sit for the end-semester examination. The rule comes from university and regulator norms (UGC, and AICTE for technical programmes) and is enforced through each institution's own academic regulations. Students who fall short can sometimes apply for condonation (often for a band like 65-74%) on medical or other genuine grounds, usually with a fee, but condonation is granted at the institution's discretion and is never guaranteed. The exact threshold, the condonation band, and what counts as attendance all vary by university, so always confirm against your own college's rules.
How is attendance percentage calculated?+
Attendance percentage = (classes attended / classes held) x 100. For example, if 18 classes were held and you attended 15, your attendance is 15 / 18 x 100 = 83.33%. The figure that actually counts is the one in your college's official attendance register, which may treat lectures, tutorials, and practicals differently, so use this tool's number as a planning estimate and the register as the authoritative record.
How many classes can I bunk and still keep 75%?+
It depends on how many classes have been held and how many you have attended so far. If you are above 75% you have a buffer, and you can miss classes until your attended-to-held ratio falls to 75%. This calculator works out exactly how many upcoming classes you can skip back-to-back and still stay at or above your required percentage. That count assumes you attend every class after the ones you skip; if more classes get added, recalculate. It is a maths estimate, not permission to skip - your college decides what counts.
I am below 75%. How many classes do I need to attend to recover?+
If you are below the requirement you have to attend several classes in a row, with no further misses, to pull the ratio back up. This tool computes the minimum number of consecutive upcoming classes you must attend to reach your required percentage. Important: if you are far below the line and only a few classes remain, it can be mathematically impossible to recover this term, and the tool flags that case. The earlier you act, the fewer classes you need.
Does the 75% include medical leave, OD, or duty leave?+
It varies by institution. Many colleges treat approved medical leave, on-duty (OD) leave for sports, NCC, or official events, and similar absences separately from ordinary bunks - sometimes excluding them from the shortfall or granting condonation. Others count every absence the same way. There is no single national rule, so check your university's attendance regulation and keep documentation for any leave you expect to be condoned. This calculator counts every not-attended class as a miss; adjust your inputs if your college excludes certain leaves.
Is my attendance data saved anywhere?+
No. The calculator runs entirely in your browser. The numbers you type - classes attended, classes held, required percentage - are never sent to any server, stored, or tracked. Refreshing the page clears everything.

A planning estimate, not your official record
This calculator uses the universal attendance ratio (attended / held), but institutions differ on what counts toward it - lectures versus practicals, how on-duty or medical leave is treated, rounding, and the exact required threshold. Any condonation for a shortfall is granted at your college's discretion and is not guaranteed. The registrar-maintained attendance register is the authoritative record; verify against your own college's rules before relying on a bunk-budget. Last reviewed: June 2026.
