Is compulsory attendance really needed in college?

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!

Attendance is not important because staffs are declare above the 75% only eligible for attending the university exams some students having 100% but know about anything of subject. Then why declare attendance is must.

In my point of view, attendance is not compulsory for the growth n development of students personality. Since childhood, we learn about time management, punctuality, discipline. College is for developing the personality of the students with the knowledge and some of student's conditions are not economically well at all they do some part time job to run their family needs. So according to me, attendance is not compulsory at all.

Thank-you.

Hi guys,

Every private college follows own rules for presenting the student in class. If the students have not present in class, there are different kinds of warning given to the student.

According to my opinion, it is important to attending the college not only for the attendence but gaining some knowledge. It is necessary to self-study of cracking entrance exam but it is also important to attending the class.

Thanks.

Hi guys,

I don't know how many feel it's correct but in the present colleges they are saying its compulsory but ya if it is there at least for that sake will come to the college and we may know many things apart from classes and subjects if by chance there are any co-circular activities we can go participate in it. But as per classes is concerned it's not necessary of attendance.

Hi friends.

It is one of the main problems of the engineering student Attendance!. I am against this, because most of the student during the lectures are not attentive they are not interested in that, they are only wasting their time to attend the lectures only to get an attendance. If they are free from this attendance system, if they have interested they.

Definitely, attend it. Otherwise, they can utilise this time in that task that they like. If you are a college student you can understand this, that we study by our self for exams not by our lectures. Finally, In my view, compulsory attendance shouldn't be in college.

Attendance is quite essential as it engraves punctuality in an individual. He becomes more serious and hence could develop some potential skills. However attendance as long as it is not forced and the individual is deliberately made to attend lecture could develop some serious undesirable issues. The individual may become good theorist but shall eventually lack the practical skills.

I don't think it's necessary. I have really experienced it in my life if we go to the college they take our precious time from 8 to 9 hours and if attendance made compulsory then we have given our precious time to them, nowadays people today in education system is really uneducated and make system for us they really don't know what is good for us and what not. They can just think up to how much they have thinking power so I must say students should not be bounded by such rules and regulation. We should be given freedom of our time.

According to my point of view, Complete attendance is necessary for college. It is a good habit to attend our classes regularly. Students taking leave on prior reason are accepted. But taking leave for unnecessary reason is not permitted. This kind of activities of not attending college makes the student lazy. And the student also follows this kind of activities on the job also. Parents worked hard to pay our college fees. So students must attend the classes and read their lessons regularly. If students miss their classes they might not get any interest in studies and also it results in a lack of concentration. So parents must guide their children in a proper way. And also they must see to that children studies must not affect in anyways. Because education is most important to everyone. Thank you.

According to me, attendance should not compulsory in colleges. If the subject you are teaching a subject is of my interest, of course, I will attend the lecture. But if I am not interested in whatever you are teaching then obviously I would not concentrate, then what is the purpose of attending that lecture.
