Yes, it must be compulsory but only when the faculty of that institute is serious about students, now a days what is happens in most of the colleges whether it may be government or private the faculties were not doing their work properly they came only for earning money anyhow some of them were serious so if an institute want compulsory attendance that institute must have to take feedback from students about there teaching experience. In most cases, some students were studying as well as doing jobs because of their financial problem so it may be a kind of huge task from them to do both. So as my views attendance is directly proportional to teaching staff it means if staff is good attendance must be compulsory in that particular college.

Attendance in college should be compulsory but upto a moderate level that do not cause harm to creative student and studious student. Because compulsory attendance help in to be punctual and discipline. Focus is the main reason and source of success. So maintain focus on study, compulsory attendance is required but there should be room for other voluntary activities that student want to pursue to develop their acedamic and personal skills.

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.

Hi everyone,

This is Chandradeep.

According to me, compulsory attendance is needed in college because college is an institution which has some disciplines and attendance is one of them. Mainly the attendance is being done for the purpose of checking whether the student is on time (i.e present) or not and to start lectures without interruption.

If the attendance process will not be there then the student will be a bit casual towards their study, it will also be difficult for any institution to manage and to direct the whole organization in a direction.

At the end, I would like to share a quote "Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment" i.e. by following some simple discipline like taking attendance, being on time etc will help to reach the goal.

Thank You.

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.

It depends on the student perspective. If student is eager to learn he will attend the class without fail no one can stop him, but if a student is not interested he will not come to class and he will not study on his own. In order to change those students attendance is really needed so that they will come to college. One day or the other some what interest will be created automatically.

Hello everyone!

Attendance can be mandatory only to a certain. No one can give cent percent even if he think to give. This may happen due to health issues. If it is mandatory, people who are interested are not going to listen to the lecturer. They are not child to force them and teacher can't do. Even they do so, they start to act. If it is not made mandatory fully then students will become lazy. They won't learn punctuality and certain manner. So it should be mandatory only to a certain extent.

Hi friend.

If we talk about college their have two elementary parts, student, and teacher. So how can we consider a college without students along with it college is not the only place for bookish study but also a part of social sites where they can shear their thought from various custom and minded I mean communicate about society and culture, in some case it take part of social working.

But also some resplendent students who don't require to go to attend classes, some students busy with a competitive exam like a bank, SSC, CGL etc and one thing some teacher s are so sicky that students couldn't want to attend for wasting their time, actually, that's the fact of education system.

So must go to college but attendance percentage should be a precious low limited.

Good morning.

Today my topic is attendance is compulsory or not in colleges.

In my view, attendance is not mandatory. Because.

1. ) Students who are interested in other activities like sports, NCC etc they are not supposed to attend the classes regularly. In that case they lose their career.

2. Some students have the capability of studying their own. In that case no need to go for lectures.

I agree with your points @Anjali.

But compulsory attendance in college makes a student come regularly to college. And makes them improve time management.
