According to me, attendance should be made compulsory in college but it should be done only in one condition that college can provide enough good and experienced teachers for teaching, It should be the case that teachers are just coming for formality. Why students would come if the teachers are not good enough to teach, even you made attendance then, what's the point of making it a compulsion college do not have enough teachers and resources.

Being a college student myself, even if I hate the concept of "Attendance", I still think it must be COMPULSORY. Because the majority of the students go to college due to this attendance. Even though we can still be against it by saying only those who wanted to really learn and those who realize the importance of their studies will come to college without being compelled, Even such students will lose their motivation and interest to come to college eventually.
And about the majority, at least they will learn some bits here and there if they attend the classes. Instead, if they start to bunk classes, they will completely go out of track. Thinking about the nation as a whole, the youth should be the lead on the right path, even if they don't feel like it.
And also classes could be made more interesting and interactive for the students, without causing them too much stress and mental pressure. This is the major reason students fail to attend college.

Compulsory attendance really needed in college so I think it should be. Because by daily attendance we have learned different things related to the education as well as other activity. We can learn the punctuality, time management, discipline and so on. By the daily attendance we can easily focus on study and increase the educational skills as well as soft skills that play an important role in our life. We can maintain the daily routine of daily life and learn the leadership skills.

Hi all,
Attendance must be made compulsory because regularity brings the best results, where colleges are the most important roles in developing our career, we all need to be regular because HARD WORK AND REGULARITY BEATS TALENT IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY.

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.

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.

No,
Most of the students prefer self-study than getting confused by newbie's lecturing.
Attending classes is just for the sake of attendance. Anyway, he/she not gonna listen to it. Whats the use in it. If they are enough mature to prefer the course, then they are enough matured to decide this thing too. As an engineer, my attendance is not more than 20% but still managed to enter the top 5. Anyway proxy are mandatory at least

I would say no, the colleges who demand regular attendance should firstly make their education status like that so that the students also gets interested to attend the classes regularly. I don't think that there is really a need of regular attendance if the student doesn't want, because the main goal should be the education. If the student is still performing up to the marks.

In my point of view, attendance should be made compulsory but up to a certain limit.
Obviously, the outside world looks fascinating and would tempt anyone to bunk the lectures and have fun around. Studying books sitting at home can never equate the overall development of a student that happens when he goes to college.
One gets to learn to respect the differences among people with different backgrounds, how to behave in a team, walk and talk, follow rules and regulations that one cannot expect to learn within a day when joins any corporate sector.
Bunking of college hinders the overall personality development and thus minimum criteria should be made mandatory.

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.
