Yes, it is important in student life. With out attendance, the students cannot come to the college properly And they cannot learn. When the students come to the college they learn something about the subjects or current affairs.

I read that students are interested the lecturer class then they were sitting in a class room otherwise they went outside.

It is not like a movie if you interest sits in hall otherwise go outside.

This classroom is students future.

After completion of the study, we cannot sit in the classroom.

So from my point view attendance is very important it decides the attitude & the character of the student.

I firmly believe that a minimum compulsory attendance policy is essential for the development of students. Without such a policy, there would likely be a lack of discipline in college, with many students frequently skipping classes. While it is important to develop new skills and prepare for various activities, it is unnecessary to miss classes to do so. There is ample time outside of class hours for these pursuits.

Additionally, relying solely on online resources for learning undermines the purpose of attending college. If everything needed for education could be found online, the value of a college would be greatly diminished.

Hi everyone,

I'm glad to share my views on the current topic.

Attendance of students is not mandatory. If made so, students can't devote much time to identifying their interests and potentials and may not be able to enhance their skill sets that might be essential for their future. We live in an advanced technology era where students can learn from different sources that can't even be provided by their college and lecturers.

Moreover, students feel pressurized and lack interest in attending classes if they find lectures are not so gd.
So attendance shouldn't be made compulsory!
Thanks once again.

Have a fantabulous day!;).

Hi friends.

It is one of the main problems of the engineering student Attendance!. I am against this, because most of the student during the lectures are not attentive they are not interested in that, they are only wasting their time to attend the lectures only to get an attendance. If they are free from this attendance system, if they have interested they.

Definitely, attend it. Otherwise, they can utilise this time in that task that they like. If you are a college student you can understand this, that we study by our self for exams not by our lectures. Finally, In my view, compulsory attendance shouldn't be in college.

Hello everyone.

According to me, attendance is compulsory in colleges but it should be in favor of the students. Now in our country moreover the attendance limit is 75% it is satisfactory. No student is interested to come college regularly but many of students like me coming for attendance sake and we have to identify coming regularly to college will provide special bonding with friend and faculty which make one to share happiness and emotions with fellow friends it will make us to fell the college life in my point view attendance should be compulsory but limit should be within the student limits like 65%.

Thank you.

Hello, everyone. I Shimail Qureshi.

According to me, attendance should not be compulsory because the time duration of any college in too long. And we are not able to do other things by our choice. Suppose if someone is the interesting sport they can not able to do practice. And regular attending college can be so boring. Because doing something by not your choice can be bored at some stage. I know if college do attendance mandatory then no one will come to attend classes. But forcing them to come is not good. If someone is really serious about their future they will definitely come and attend classes by their choice.

Attendance should not be made compulsory in colleges. If students are interested in that subject they will attend. Also, our education system is not so good. Here we will study theoretical and practical aspects separately.

Instead of this system if we study theoretical and practical aspects of a subject we can get knowledge and students are interested in this thing.

Some students will attend classes because of the topic attendance it's no use if the student is present only physically but absent-minded. It is a waste of students time also lectures time. A Student can utilize that time for his interested field.

Hello,

In my opinion, a certain minimum criteria for attendance is a must. Being realistic, we cannot assume that all students will make optimum use of their time if attendance isn't compulsory.
Even 50% attendance will ensure that the students remain aware of the syllabus and get a rough understanding of the subject. At the same time, the quality of education needs to be maintained specially if a minimum percentage criteria is being imposed on the students.

After all, a college is like a temple. But not the kind of temple that students should enter only during their exam season expecting a miracle.

I think attendance should be mandatory in college but there will be one condition that college must have to provide teachers staff with great experience and lots of knowledge so that it is helpful for students. And teachers have to take more practicals and teach each and every thing more practically so that it helps to develop the analytical skills of students. Also, teachers should be made their lectures interactive so that students do not get bored. Attendance is mandatory because all students are not always present in college and wasting their parent's money. This misbehavior harms their future.

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.
