About

Academic institutions often enforce strict attendance policies, requiring students to maintain a specific percentage (e.g., 75% or 80%) to be eligible for exams. Managing this balance is crucial for students juggling coursework, internships, and personal health. This calculator assists in planning safe "skip days" or determining the recovery path if attendance has dropped below the threshold.

It solves the "Bunking" problem: knowing exactly how many lectures one can miss without facing debarment. It also calculates the inverse: the "Recovery" problem, showing how many consecutive classes must be attended to restore good standing.

Formulas

To find the current percentage P:

P = AT × 100

To find how many more classes x you must attend to reach target R:

A + xT + x ≥ R

To find how many you can skip y while staying above R:

AT + y ≥ R

Frequently Asked Questions

Most universities debar students from final exams. Some allow medical leave exceptions, but generally, you must attend consecutive classes to raise the average back up.

For current status, enter only classes that have already happened. For planning the whole semester, estimate the total expected lectures.

Attendance is usually calculated per subject. You should run this calculation separately for each course code.

This depends entirely on the professor or college software. Many automated systems truncate decimals, meaning 74.9% is treated as 74%, leading to debarment.
