Question 1

Why is 75% the standard attendance requirement?

Accepted Answer

Many Indian universities align their exam-eligibility attendance rule with UGC guidance, which commonly cites 75% as a baseline. It isn’t a single nationwide law, though — individual universities and even individual programs set their own thresholds, sometimes 65%, sometimes 80% or higher for professional courses.

Question 2

How is "safe bunks" calculated?

Accepted Answer

It finds the largest number of remaining classes you can miss while keeping (classes attended) ÷ (total classes held) at or above your required percentage, assuming you attend every other remaining class. It’s a ceiling, not a plan — missing that many in a row near term-end leaves no room for illness or emergencies.

Question 3

What if I’m already below the requirement?

Accepted Answer

The calculator switches to showing how many of your remaining classes you’d need to attend consecutively to climb back to the requirement by term end. If that number equals or exceeds your remaining classes, reaching the requirement this term may not be mathematically possible — talk to your department about condonation policies.

Question 4

Does this account for medical leave or condonation?

Accepted Answer

No — this is a straightforward attendance-percentage projection based on the numbers you enter. Most colleges have a separate condonation process for documented medical leave that can adjust the effective requirement; check with your department if that applies to you.
