The missed learning experience of students due to absenteeism is a problem in medical education since it hampers a favourable teaching-learning outcome, resulting in less than optimum skills of the students. In order to overcome this problem, the authors have presented a novel mechanism of compensatory learning mechanism based on principles of adult learning. Methods: The list of students absent for a particular session (theory/practical) was prepared, and allotted assignments were displayed on notice board after each session in standard format. After completion of one year, a feedback form was circulated to all participants wherein they were asked to record the experience about the compensatory learning mechanism (CLM) in a 15 item questionnaire with Likert type of responses from 1 to 5. Assessment of the student’s attendance & performance was done for all participants. Results: BDS III & BDS IV students scored significantly higher in year 2014 as compared to 2013 (p<0.001 for both groups) which was highly significant. BDS I & BDS II students scored higher in year 2014 as compared to 2013 but results were not statistically significant (p>0.05). Conclusion: Students in professional institutions are self-directed adults who are motivated by internal drives. CLM provides an opportunity for these students to complete & augment their learning.
