KTU Attendance Rules & Condonation: Minimum %, Shortage & Fees

KTU attendance rules for the 2024 scheme — the minimum percentage required, what happens on shortage, and how condonation works.

Attendance isn't just a formality at KTU — fall below the limit and you may be barred from the exam. Here's what the rules say and what to do if you're short.

Minimum attendance

KTU generally requires at least 75% attendance in a course to be eligible to sit the end-semester university exam. This is calculated per the regulations of your scheme.

What counts as a shortage

  • 75% and above — eligible, no action needed.
  • Between 50% and 75% — shortage; you may apply for condonation.
  • Below 50% — typically not condonable; you may have to repeat the semester.

Exact thresholds and the number of condonation chances allowed follow the official KTU 2024 scheme regulations — always confirm with your college office.

How condonation works

  1. Your college identifies students with a condonable shortage.
  2. You submit a condonation application with valid reasons (e.g. medical).
  3. You pay the condonation fee.
  4. On approval, you're allowed to write the exam.

How to avoid the problem

Track your attendance from week one. The KTUNODE study tools include a timetable to help you plan classes and spot a shortage before it becomes serious.

Quick answer

Aim for 75%+. 50–75% needs paid condonation; below 50% usually means repeating the semester.

Condonation is official permission to write the exam despite an attendance shortage, usually granted to students with attendance between 50% and 75% on payment of a fee and valid reasons such as medical grounds.
