Understanding Attendance Calculation
What is Attendance Percentage?
Attendance percentage is a measure of how regularly a student attends classes. It’s calculated by dividing the number of classes attended by the total number of classes held, then multiplying by 100. This metric is crucial for academic success and is often a requirement for appearing in examinations.
