Is compulsory attendance really needed in college?

In My point of view, compulsory attendance is not required. In foreign countries, importance is given on projects and assignments. But in India people give more importance to attendance than learning. They also put a huge amount of fine for not having proper attendance. In my point of view, attendance is a burden on students and many use it as a money making business.

I think attendance should be made compulsory but up to certain extent. The uninterested students attend only for the sake of attendance they disturb those students who are genuinely interested in attending lectures.

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.

According to me, attendance should be compulsory in college. We see students everyday goes to the college but when examining time comes they sit for agitation because college authority does want to allow many students to sit for exam because they don't have adequate attendance. Actually students when they go to college they get the freedom and not only that boys come from Boys school and girls come from girls school but in college most of the co-education so they get chance to make friendship with the opposite sex and as a result they like gossip send time to go to the picture, visiting here and there in this way they spend there. But student life is very golden life if they can't study properly then they will not get chance in reputed sector and parents they spend their hand money for their children future. So according to in college there is strict rule for compulsory attendance then they have no choice they have to attend the class and accordingly they will prepare for their study as well as exam. In there future they will get lot of time for their entertainment but they should not waste their time in student life. They should concentrate in their study.

Hi, my name is Nick Biraori.

My opinion about the topic of mandatory class attendance.

I think the world is headed in a different direction as opposed to the two decades behind us.

The world is headed in a technological and skilful era. Class attendance should take 50 % of the total lessons. Online classes and research methods should be more implemented in this kind of era.

Professional courses should also come in handy in regard to the type of courses for each particular student. Let the world go In a route of doing instead of cramming.

Thanks a lot.

In my opinion, the rule of compulsory attendance should not be implemented. It actually led the student to develop reluctance and feeling pressurized. Today's world requires a smart and creative individual. To fulfil today's world's needs and to grow their skill sets, individual needs to give time to themselves so that they can identify their potential and desires.

Field of interest and do the necessary hard work in that direction. Colleges and universities should realize this situation and set students free on this thing. The best thing, they can set a minimum desired attendance rule that should be fulfilled by the students instead of the compulsory attendance rule.

Hello everyone,

As per my opinion,

1) I think attendance is not important too much because in our country most of college teaches students the syllabus and it is not enough to crack any FANG companies or even others.

2) If attendance will be necessary the student can't groom in class it is a harsh reality. Until and unless anyone starts devoting time to themself. Because coding competitions are not there in every college so students only have good academics but not applicable skills (any programming language).

3) Any student who gives time to themself then they can't do both things properly.

4) I think it should be that much necessary that no students get bad marks in any subject of their academics.

From my point of view, attendance should be compulsory in college. Because the regular classes teach us the time management, punctuality and discipline. And the main que. Is that why classes are imp. Because of my friend when the teacher or professor teaches us than most of the things we will never find on books and sometimes they share their experience which gives us a motivation. If I am talking about discipline then yes, its imp. Because after graduation, this discipline behavior will help you to grow. And get a job. And also it might be chances of growth in any company.

No ways. Attendance is something which should never be binding on someone, the reason being in places like India people park their vehicles only where the board of no packing hangs. The reason is that people start evading as soon as something becomes binding.

Moreover, compulsion can never bring more laurels for the country at the university level. Where students are grown enough. Instead one should focus on making the curriculum so interesting that students feel like going to college with enthusiasm. Once this is done attendance will increase automatically and will bring medals as well.

It shouldn't be compulsory as there are almost 60% students who do not like attend the lecture. They will be forced to attend the lecture I which they are not at all interested, they will disturb the whole class as not at all interested in the teacher pitch. Which will shake the balance of the purpose of that lecture? But the positive side is that it forces students to make their timetable which will make them more punctual.
