I think attendance should be compulsory in college, as many of students depend on their private tuition. But from college's teacher we get a lot of knowledge, idea also. Most of the students only focus on their theory but they don't interest in practical or projects. So, that their application knowledge is very poor, their carriers face lots of problems also. To bring discipline and attendance really needed. In this way, students can learn its positivity and build a goods relation both professors and students.

Attendance is something to make one understand the need of hour and lead him towards a well-maintained schedule which is must for a beginner but for a college student I think it act as a cage or a well practice idea of 12 years (as attendance is compulsory in school, it must b) to stop him thinking out of the box which is must create something new something which opens the doors to new arena for human race. . Because I feel that entering the college life is entering the adulthood and to experience its life free of all bounds and using his experience of 12 years of studying in breaking all limits. But with this view, I also want to say that relaxation in ATTENDANCE does not mean of getting stray from your aim.

Thank you.

No ways. Attendance is something which should never be binding on someone, the reason being in places like India people park their vehicles only where the board of no packing hangs. The reason is that people start evading as soon as something becomes binding.

Moreover, compulsion can never bring more laurels for the country at the university level. Where students are grown enough. Instead one should focus on making the curriculum so interesting that students feel like going to college with enthusiasm. Once this is done attendance will increase automatically and will bring medals as well.

It shouldn't be compulsory as there are almost 60% students who do not like attend the lecture. They will be forced to attend the lecture I which they are not at all interested, they will disturb the whole class as not at all interested in the teacher pitch. Which will shake the balance of the purpose of that lecture? But the positive side is that it forces students to make their timetable which will make them more punctual.

Hii friends,

I think attendance is not mandatory in colleges. In the school it is good for students because discipline but in college students are mature they know what to be do & what not to be do. In some of the college forcing to student attend the class, & they not present then pay fine. Then students have no option they come college but only physically not mentally. They can mentally disturb.

According to me, attendance is not needed in colleges because students are mature enough to think what they need. Physical Presence will not work. It is not the right time to force the college students to attend classes compulsory since they are capable of taking their decisions.

Compulsory attendance really not needed in college because if student doesn't want to come their class just because of poor quality of teachers or their teaching style. If our teachers will enable to make the class interesting and more practical instead of theoretical then students will definitely come by their own choice that would be better.

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.

No. It's not compulsory because students are mature enough to think about there future life. Mainly due to teaching style, college strict rules, treating students as in school level makes them feel exasperated and tries to break the rules. In my point of view, college should focus on practical classes by making students more interactive and have their participation automatically. And also by conducting various events related to their subjects this will eventually reduces lack of attendance.

Thank you.

Everything which will be professional be always professional.

Hello friends.

I am Sherya.

I agree this will be as needed as it is.

Suppose. For example, if one employee go upstairs in his profession from his work and he becomes senior post of that company then he doesn't have to duty it's regularly punctually for his work? This also follows as same as here. Students always students. They should always learn from their teachers. Whatever in school our Colg.

So it's compulsory aspects.
