What I think is attendance shouldn't be compulsory because in college a student is quite mature to think what beneficial for him And for how long some one will force someone to do things. On the other hand the college should have strict examination so that the student whether they come to college or not must prepare for that for a good future. And the college should make such a environment in the class room and the campus that the student's is pushed to the college by his conscience. Thank you.

As we system have in college in which lectures are arranged in classes so there is compulsory attendance but if we don't want this then recorded lectures should be provided online so that students can get them whenever & wherever they want, and no attendance will be required.

Hello everyone,

I have some advantages and disadvantages for this question.

Advantages: teach-does- Due today attendance student will regular in the class so that he will know something new from the faculty and other best persons.

Due to attendance, we improve our regularity in future for our field.

Disadvantages:teach does not well teach in the class so that at that time don't attendance compulsory. At that time we can go in the library and read someone new for our interesting field.

I conclude that attendance is important when the students learn something new otherwise not.

According to my opinion, yes, it is needed. Because it is lectures, where we learn a lot. If we gain only 10 % of the total lecture it is sufficient rather then to not attending the lectures. Yes, there is some things which is needed to be mandatory in the lectures, their need to be more focus on the practical knowledge rather then giving theoretically.

Hi, friends.

Nowadays in govt engineering colleges, 75% attendance is compulsory but in my opinion, this restriction should be relaxed because in lectures neither some lecturers nor some students are so interested to study. I think if any student is really curious and serious about his studies then, if bar is there or not, he will attend the class to learn and that is meaningful learning instead of that when student becomes last benchers and makes it sometimes difficult for curious or serious students to study by making noise or other types of disturbances.

Things don't end here some students bunk their classes and make pressure on regularly class attending students to their proxy which is directly making fun of rules and regulations and this makes them more confident to break rules further in their life.

So, on conclusion I want to say that restriction on attendance should be lowered to 50-60% instead of 75%.

Compulsory attendence means we are forcing student to come college. If college have capable to provide to better education & other co-curricular activity then undoubtedly students will come college because some student think college is wastage of time and some have different goal & to achieve it they need time and after college they don't have enough time to fullfill it some so instead of mandatory we can decide minimum attendence.

Yes, attendance must be needed. Because if attendance is not taken into consideration, students take it as an advantage. Only interested students will attend the classes. Most of the students attend the classes for attendance. Students mentality should be in such a way that if he miss a class, he is going to miss something so important lecture. So, it's a teacher responsibility to give their lectures in an interesting way, so that every student attend the classes with great interest, concentration. So, teacher's must Interact with the students to induce curiosity, motivate, and provoke thinking, imagination and application of the concept taught.

Hello, friend, this is Gaurav.

According to me, regular attendance should be compulsory in colleges because any student goes to class daily then he can understand every subject in the class and gets good marks in the exam and after finishing the college everyone will apply for the corporate job where check our talent and regularity.

Thank you.

According to me, compulsory attendance is important because it makes a student to get familiar with the subjects and also he may get various matters that are talked in class. Sometimes he may get ideas from his fellow classmates or professors about his future career.
