Hello aspirant,

Attendance is generally compulsory for vivas. Vivas are typically conducted in person, and your presence is essential for the examiner to assess your understanding and knowledge of the subject matter.

However, there might be exceptional circumstances where absence from a viva is allowed, such as:

• Medical reasons: If you are unable to attend due to a medical condition, you might need to provide a medical certificate as proof.
• Family emergencies: In cases of family emergencies, you might be granted permission to miss the viva, but you may need to provide documentation or evidence.
  
  I hope this information helps you.

Hello there, Yes, attendance is generally compulsory for viva exams. The viva voce, or oral examination, is a key part of the evaluation process in many academic courses, especially in graduate programs, project evaluations, thesis defense, and practical assessments. Missing it without a valid reason (such as medical emergencies) could lead to penalties or rescheduling issues. If you have specific guidelines from your institution, it’s always a good idea to check with them for any exceptions.

Good Luck!
