Is compulsory attendance really needed in college?

Hello everyone,

According to me, attendance must be made compulsory in colleges. In today's world, there are so many things that distract students like drugs, mobile phones etc. If attendance is not made compulsory, the students will fall prey to bad habits and spoil their future as well. Further introducing compulsory attendance ensures that the students develop discipline, punctuality which makes them more professional and well-groomed for the industry. These values cannot be developed overnight, but have to be practiced in student days itself.

Hi everyone.

Actually, I don't think so. From my point of view, attendance will not going measure the punctuality of an individual. If teachers will teach something productive along with the usual syllabus it will definitely put some interest in a individual to attend the classes. Thank you.

Hi everyone.

From my point of view, attendance in the college is not important because it doesn't show ones punctuality. In does not affect ones future.

Bunking of classes also one of the enjoyment for students.

But it also has negative side. Most of the students are taking this as advantage and they are often bunking the classes.

Attendance must be mandatory in colleges as it is in schools.

Parents spend their hard spent money for their children's education. The Government gives scholarships to motivate students to study.

If attending classes is not necessary, there should be no colleges and everyone can do online courses.

Learning takes place through a Guru (teacher) who not only teaches you the text but also shares his/her wisdom. Also, learning takes place through interaction with peers.

Attendance should be through bio metric scans.

From my point of view, attendance must not be compulsory in colleges because there are some students who have to change cities on a frequent basis for their career requirements, and if it is done, it would hamper their growth.

Yes, compulsory education is needed in college in now a days. Because without proper guidance we may not move in the right direction. Even though we are having video lectures it won't help us to get the subject deeply and an education without a proper guidance is sailing in the undirectional boat so for this purpose we need attendance compulsory.

Yes, compulsory attendence must be needed in colleges. It is beneficial for students to be punctual in life and these are the small things that make them punctual.

No,

Attendance is not mandatory as now a day's in India theoretical knowledge is been given to students mainly in Btech colleges and in maximum number of colleges faculties are only not aware of what they are teaching they just mug up the text and they just doattend the exam and some of the front bunch students take notes of them. And all the students at least don't even know what they are listening and what is going on in class it is due to lack of interest. So it's better to give freedom to students to choose their career.

My parents gave me the freedom to choose my career and so I'm doing some projects staying at home. Even my friend and faculty are not aware of this thing so from past 1month I didn't attend college so everyone is making fun of me it seems even faculty.

Thank you.

No, there is not compulsory attendance Because many of colleges having a not good teacher so there are problems for students, if they can't understand their lecture so it's maybe big problems for this career, therefore many of student join the online class for achieving success. Attendance is mandatory but at the limit. Not required 100 percent. The student also comes to colleges for tips regarding the career with their class teacher or principal. Because teachers give the best guidelines.

Yes, definitely if the attendance will not compulsory in colleges then the level of knowledge will degrading day by day because if the attendance is not necessary why student will go in college regularly and if they don't go then they can't able to clear semester with good marks and all these not happen they will not placed in any company and will unemployment rate will highly increase and none of the MNC will come to our college or our country to give jobs because knowledge level is zero then why they will come to waste their time and In this way our youth will be unemployed and having zero level of knowledge what will do just we do labour type work. So, attendance really needed in college.
