What's inside

Everything a warden needs,
nothing they don't

Built specifically for Indian university hostels. Clean, practical, and works right out of the box in Excel or Google Sheets.

31-Day Monthly Register

A full month on one sheet. Columns for all 31 days with P / A / L / H / S codes. Dropdown validation prevents typos.

Auto-Calculated Summaries

Present, Absent, and Leave counts calculated automatically per student. Attendance percentage updates live as you fill in each day.

Color-Coded Attendance %

Attendance percentage cells turn blue (≥75%), yellow (50–74%), or red (<50%) automatically using conditional formatting.

Linked Student Directory

Fill student names, roll numbers, and room numbers once in the Directory sheet. The Attendance Register and Monthly Summary pull from it automatically.

Monthly Summary Sheet

A dedicated summary view that aggregates total present, absent, and leave days per student — ready to present to administration.

Print-Ready PDF Format

A clean landscape A4 PDF version for physical records. Fits all 30 students and 31 days on a single page, with signature fields.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Does this work with Google Sheets?

Yes. Download the .xlsx file and upload it directly to Google Drive. The formulas and sheet linking work in Google Sheets. Conditional formatting carries over too.

Can I add more than 30 students?

Yes. Copy any existing row and paste it below the last row. The formulas will replicate automatically. Just extend the Student Directory accordingly.

What do the attendance codes mean?

P = Present, A = Absent, L = On Leave, H = Holiday, S = Sunday. The % uses P / (P + A + L), so Holidays and Sundays don't affect the percentage.

Is the PDF editable?

The PDF is print-ready for physical record-keeping and signing. For editable records, use the Excel or Google Sheets version.

How is SpaceBasic different from this template?

This template is a great starting point for manual record-keeping. SpaceBasic automates attendance via biometric, QR, or app-based check-in — saving wardens up to 60% of time on daily tasks.

Do I need a SpaceBasic account to download?

No. The template is completely free — no sign-up, no email required. If you'd like to explore full hostel automation, you can schedule a demo separately.
