Is compulsory attendance really needed in college?

Hello Everyone,

Regarding Compulsory attendance, It is not necessary at all because of many reasons.

->First and foremost thing is INDIA needs DEVELOPERS, which comes with self-understanding and a healthy relation with the subject. And Understanding comes with your own effort not rather someone forcing you to learn or Dump the subject for the sake of marks, what the present day education system is doing with the name of Compulsory Attendance.

-> Everyone will have their own interests, they have joined in some courses does not mean that they should be proficient in that. For example in B tech if we are having 6 subjects, the student will have or get interest only in 2 to 3 subjects and they wanted to make their carrier with what they like and should be given that freedom (chance) to utilize that time in which they will be sitting simply in the class for attendance (compulsory) and wasting his precious time.

-> Maybe someone might have joined the college just for the degree and they were interested in doing something (Govt services, business). So, in this case, what is the use of forcing them to attend the classes for attendance in which he is not interested at all.

-> We should do something we liked to not forced to do. Then only the unbeaten outcome comes.

"Do only what you love, then there is no need for you to work a day" - Confucius once said.

Based on these facts, my opinion is not to have a compulsory attendance.

Yes, 100% ATTENDANCE is needed in colleges. In my way, attending the college daily without any leave helps the student to build up their CONFIDENCE as they listen to all the classes and learn the subject.

SIMPLY ATTENDING THE CLASSES IS NOT AT ALL USEFUL, the student should have the commitment to study. This regularity in the college REFLECTS THE SAME IN THEIR FUTURE, as the person who gives the job have the confidence that you will finish the given work in time without any delay.

SO, I THINK 100% ATTENDANCE IS COMPULSORY NEEDED.

THANK YOU.

Yes, full attendance should be compulsory in colleges because;

1. If we attend our college regularly it will help to boost self-confidence in an individual.
2. It will make us punctual.
3. It will helps to socialize us with different people.
4. We will be able to focus more on studies then any other things.
5. It will encourage us to make our future better.

Hi Everyone,

I would say that compulsory attendance is needed because if there is no compulsion means most of the students won't come to college. It will affect their's life. Instead of changing the limitations try to change the system. That means change the method of teaching or syllabus anything. Make the classes more interesting. Automatically, students will love to come colleges.

Hi friends,

I am Kavitha,

According to my point, is no needed to 100% in collages, why Because of almost students physically present, Mentally off sent.

In Our Life, college duration very important. Because in college days teach us everything.

The Thing needs to change the education system. Education not only our life, We need more Extra activities, Practical classes, innovative classes, .

After finish college, reading and writing exam is not valid. They expect from us talent and practical knowledge, situation handling and etc. , So We learn from all these in collages. Highest percentage is not a matter. We need a knowledge, . So first of all changing education is the system. And students automatically comes to college. This duration very important in everyone life. So Students Realizes What is the purpose we are going to collages. What we need in our life.

Out of Tamil Nadu. Singapore. &. Other countries. The classes totally differ. They conduct half-day classes. Remaining half day. They teach sports and Dance, Karate. Extra. So Students love the way of teaching. Students never getting boring. The students doing the part-time job during collages.

Finally, 50 % attendance holder having a good position in a company, as same time 100% attendance holder having a lower position in a company and life.

So attendance is not a matter. We need a change the way of teaching and Learning.

Thank you.

In my opinion, considering the fact that our country is moving towards digitalism number of options are there for the students to gain knowledge apart from what we get through lectures. In fact I would rather suggest someone to bunk class search for the topic and study what are the current research going on regarding that particular topic instead of sitting in the lecture and learning the same thing that has been taught for the last plenty of years. You can find more practical things on YouTube and Google alongwith the theoretical knowledge.
As a college student if you are possessing 100% attendance, u mug up everything that has been taught in the lecture and u topped the exam will be pointless and meaningless as long as you are not updated with current scenario.

Hi friends,

In my opinion, compulsory attendance is necessary for school children's as well as college students. Indian education system needs lot of modification like updating syllabus, focusing more on industrial or practical knowledge etc. In case of online study we will miss the fun of college, values like punctuality & discipline would not get inculcated in us. Also that learning attitude will not be developed. Arranging compulsory lectures for the students can become a good platform to enjoy learning but for that necessary modifications must be done in our education system & government is working in that direction. I would like to say that it would be better to have this lecture system. If we need to update our knowledge then we can make use of internet but bunking classes is not the solution.

Good evening one and all.

Yeah, compulsory attendance really needed in College because by the time students going to the college they will be in the teenage. So this teenage is like a poison that won't make them come to college regularly. If compulsory attendance is there. At least they will go to college regularly. Because if they are absent. Absent message will be sent to their parents so they will come to college regularly. That regularity will make them settled in their life. Because if they go to college they will get some knowledge by listening to their lecturers. Many people think I can read even by staying at home but it's impossible. Of course, they can but not like the others who come to college because no one is there at home to punish if you have done mistakes but in college even though you don't have the interest to read you will read because you have fear about your lecturer so that you can learn something than nothing.

I don't find any logic behind compulsory attendance. If the teacher cannot create interest in the class, there is no point in attending his classes regularly. Our aim of going to the class is to gain knowledge and if that is missing I don't really know why should we go. There are teachers who just come to the class and start reading monotonously form the slides without any interest for explanation. It is a known fact that there are some teachers who may be brilliant researchers but output in the class is nill. That is understandable. The point of not going to the class is not disrespecting the teachers but to stop wasting our times. Definitely the time that is gained by not going to the class should be utilised in studying those topics in details and then approaching the respective teacher with doubts. I believe he/she will very well be able to clear the doubts because he is a professor and has in-depth knowledge. The only problem was he couldn't express himself in front of a full classroom. So in my opinion, college classes should be made optional and a student should attend the classes of those teachers whom he fills can clear his doubts, This may vary from student to student.

Yes, exactly. Compulsory attendance is necessary in college because a student leaving at home or in a room is distracted by many ways like phone or there are a lot of ways of distractions. I think attendance should definitely made compulsory but with some changes in our education system. We should make it compulsory by creating interst in student' s mind. If we are unable to create interest or curiosity in student's life then we should make them free to take there own decisions.
