Hello everyone!

I believe it depends on the education culture in the college. If the classes being conducted have nothing to learn from or if one could rather be productive in a different environment, I'd say a high attendance requirement is unnecessary. The authorities should ensure good quality education in these institutions first. There is a big dearth of good teachers in our society anyway and online education seems to have established itself as a more reliable medium for imparting knowledge.

On the other hand, there's a sense of discipline that is put into students via this scheme, if this is explained to them and how important this is, for most work environments and future endeavours, it could possibly be more accepted than it is now.

Thank you!

In my point of view, attendance is not compulsory, because let's take an example in an interview they only consider the level of knowledge you have not the percentage of attendance.

Here attendance is not necessarily but marks take place. One of the important things is nowadays job is compulsory in that case everyone has the main aim is to get a job so that's why we are studying.

Finally, gain the knowledge is important not getting best attendance, so attendance is not really needed in college.

I think it depends on the college education system ie teachers, HOD.

If knowledge is being imparted nicely in the class then attendance must be taken seriously. But if no proper study is going on in class then attendance should not be taken into consideration.

Less attendance shows less interest of the student. (if proper classes is being held).

And in that case, attendance should be compulsory.

In my opinion, gaining knowledge is more important than building attendance. A student having high attendance and still gaining no knowledge is useless. Proper utilisation of time is important. And Yes if your college has proper studies routine then you should not be one to miss them for sure. Because college makes our life disciplined. But it overall depend on individual perspective towards studying. Because life is all about pursuing our goals and working towards it ambitiously!

Hi friends this MOMIN.

In My point of view on his topic is, there are many corns and porns about the college attendance, because a student who was perfectly attending the daily activities in campus can able to perform in the campus only for sake of writing exams and get passed they cannot able to get more additional when compared people who are not attending the college, in order to gain extra knowledge 100% attendance.

I don't think so. Because many of them want to follow their passion. Or wants to do something else. Apart from their degree. I can take the example of one of my friend. Abhishek, he is pursuing B-Tech in mining engineering from IIT Dhanbad. But he is not comfortable with this. So his main focus is UPSE. In fact he is preparing for UPSE. But I had seen his hard work. He is really facing lots of problem due to the attendance. What is the use of that attendance if we are not benefited.

As we all that what is important in our college life to get decent GPA? We just have to studies 10 days before the exam. So why we are wasting 3-4 months by sitting in the class. If we don't have the pressure from the academic then we really follow our passion.

Because everyone has their own characteristics.

So, if you are not interested in that branch then find something in which you are good at.

It doesn't mean that I'm saying the same thing for the schools. Becoz school is that which mould our personalities. So compulsory attendance in school is good. But not in college.

In my point of view, attendance in college should not be compulsory because if you want to follow your passion or not interested in your branch or want to do some other activity then this attendance issue will prevent you in many situation and also if you are eager gain knowledge then there is no need to make attendance.

Hello everyone.

According to me, attendance in college should not be compulsory because in college we get only theoretical knowledge but in today's Era a person should have a good command of particle aspects. One should learn things apart from subjects and should get involved in other activities and learn.

Hi friends this is Gautam.

I don't want to hesitate attendance because it will build up my punctuality other than many knows or etc.

For eg: Assume that I am working in MNC. I am well knowledged and well professional although if I don't provide my attentivity or concentration or regularity in my work it will affect all my good things so attendance is mandatory because it not gives you any knowledge but teaches the regularity. Which should be followed in our day to day life.

Thank you, Friends.

Hi.

Mandatory attendance is overall better for society. It raises the bar of general education and protects children from being diverted to early labour or left ignorant of their capability.

It makes the society more equal and more competitive in the world.
