Is compulsory attendance really needed in college?

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.

I think attendance in college should not be mandatory because the quality of professors in college is not so good. Going college only for attendance not for learning something is totally a wastage of time! If a teacher is teaching well then student automatically attend his lecture. There is no need to force student for attendance. Extracurricular activities are also important for a student for developing his skill along with knowledge and practical knowledge is more important than theoretical knowledge!So for understanding basic attending lectures is also necessary so I think 40% compulsory attendance is good for them. Because if they totally stop attending their lectures it may ruin his result. So there should be a balance between both studies as well as other activities.

As per my opinion,

I will not agree with compulsory attendance because it will ruin creativity of students at least 60%. I think 50 percentage of attendance is enough after that leave the students freely and make the subject clear head. Make them learn on their own and explain to them if they need. Practical learning is more important than a classroom lecture. Practical implementation is more important than by-heart. Don't force them to try to educate and help them to elevate.

Hello everybody.

I'm Mohit. Below are my opinions about attendance in college.

I read almost all opinions and I agree with no mandatory attendance.

Because if the institute makes a rule of mandatory attendance then they should first check their professors quality. Are they quiet hopeful, innovative, interesting?

I observed that most professors coming in class are being reflected like they are driven just for doing duty & earning. No hopes, no freshness on their face makes a lecture so boring.

At college level the students are enough capable of doing their studies & scoring handsomely.
