Check your current attendance percentage, find out how many classes you can skip while staying above your target, or calculate how many classes you must attend to reach your required percentage.
Most Indian universities and colleges require a minimum attendance of 75% to be eligible to sit for exams. Some institutions require 80% or even 85%. Falling below the minimum can result in being detained from exams, losing internal marks, or having to repeat the semester.
| Institution Type | Minimum Required |
|---|---|
| Most Indian Universities | 75% |
| Medical Colleges (MCI) | 75% |
| Engineering (AICTE) | 75% |
| Some Private Universities | 80–85% |
| IITs and NITs | 75–80% |
Most universities allow a condonation of 5–10% attendance for genuine medical reasons with a doctor's certificate. Some institutions also consider NCC, NSS, or sports participation as attendance. Always check your institution's specific rules with your academic office.
Most universities set a minimum attendance percentage — commonly 75% — as a requirement for exam eligibility. Once you fall below that threshold, catching back up requires attending significantly more classes than you missed, because every future class you attend or miss shifts the percentage for the whole term, not just going forward.
This calculator works in both directions: it tells you your current attendance percentage from classes attended and held, and it can also tell you how many additional classes you need to attend (or can safely miss) to stay at or above your target threshold for the rest of the term.
