Is compulsory attendance really needed in college?

Hello Everyone,

Regarding Compulsory attendance, It is not necessary at all because of many reasons.

->First and foremost thing is INDIA needs DEVELOPERS, which comes with self-understanding and a healthy relation with the subject. And Understanding comes with your own effort not rather someone forcing you to learn or Dump the subject for the sake of marks, what the present day education system is doing with the name of Compulsory Attendance.

-> Everyone will have their own interests, they have joined in some courses does not mean that they should be proficient in that. For example in B tech if we are having 6 subjects, the student will have or get interest only in 2 to 3 subjects and they wanted to make their carrier with what they like and should be given that freedom (chance) to utilize that time in which they will be sitting simply in the class for attendance (compulsory) and wasting his precious time.

-> Maybe someone might have joined the college just for the degree and they were interested in doing something (Govt services, business). So, in this case, what is the use of forcing them to attend the classes for attendance in which he is not interested at all.

-> We should do something we liked to not forced to do. Then only the unbeaten outcome comes.

"Do only what you love, then there is no need for you to work a day" - Confucius once said.

Based on these facts, my opinion is not to have a compulsory attendance.

Hi.

Compulsory attendance really not needed in college.

We go to college for knowledge purpose, not for attendance. Nowadays lecture will not give full hint about the subject and moreover, they don't know how to explain the concept.

That's we students need some time to gain knowledge from various ebooks and to revise them.

Finally, Better 50% of attendance is enough.

Thank you.

Absolutely It should be compulsory.

Because First, it makes us.

1) a punctual with daily scheduled. Which helps in the future word.
2) Then maximum students try to attend whole class whereby students get benefits of the study.
3) It makes us hard worker, interaction with students, teachers.
4) It teaches us management of time.

Although if facilities of that college are not in teaching then we should join coaching and give more time in coaching then college attendance doesn't matter in our future making plan. Because our purpose to join any study Institute is get knowledge and facilities are not helping then You should think about this point.

Attendance should be compulsory in those collages where professional courses are being taught, but those collages where non-professional courses are taught attendance shouldn't be compulsory because they people need time for carrier and job searching but in professional courses students must learn skills required for market need of related course that make nation powerful.

According to me, attendance should not be compulsory in colleges but there should be some restriction otherwise there will be only 2 or 3 students in the class, and parallel the environment should be comfortable to those students who are interested in other activities also. So, I think 60% attendance is well and good because all the students should know what are the concepts going on in classes and have some idea about it to clear their exams.

I believe attendance should be compulsory in colleges because there is always something we could learn even from the dullest professor of college. They have this powerful weapon called experience. Beside this attending college is really good for the social environment. We not only gain theoretical knowledge but also we learn many new things. However its the responsibility of professors to show some leniency if the student is actually busy in any productive project or something.

Hi guys, I am Swathi.

This is the good topic to discuss on.

Compulsory attendance is a must for kids because they can't do it on their own. i.e for school children they will go to school and learn from their teachers.

While talking about college, compulsory attendance is not at all necessary.

Because we know our talents right?

We can complete the whole syllabus a day before the exam, can't we?Which teachers can't complete teaching the whole year.

We can't blame teachers may be they know our talents so they are lenient.

Hi Guys,

I think the attendace is not mandatory because of attending all the lectures it means total waste of the time, all the teachers are not teaching as fresh mind and some are the boaring lectures, if the attendance crieria is 40% then it will be fine for us, because of final year and third year students busy in project or the some private classes if they attending the all lectures then they can't do remaing things, so no attendance is no matter.

Good, attendance is needed to develop a strong sense of community in a classroom and to encourage a healthy sense of class participation.

I think compulsory attendance is not needed in college it is the place where we enhance our qualities and learn new things but if we continue to attend college we really have no time to improve this. We join college not only to study but also to learn new things that help us to fight in this world of competition.

Practical knowledge is more important than theoretical knowledge. We may pass all semesters but if we are not able to explain there is no meaning of that study.
