Is compulsory attendance really needed in college?

Yes, Attendance should be made compulsory in college because if attendance is not taken in the class, there are so many students would not attend class regularly and it directly affects on the student's studies. For attending class there are lot of stuffs to learn as time management, discipline, punctuality, skill development, listening and speaking power. Most of the collegiate students prefer to sit back in the hostel instead of going in the classroom because they believe in own self studies and class is not too much interesting according to them means teachers are not able to teach everything in simple way sometimes class becomes too boring for students. And it is one of the main reason not to attend the class. Sometimes professor comes for formality to taking attendance and nothing to teach. Their only motive to attend class anyhow. According to me I think if professors are too much good and interesting in teaching why students wouldn't not attend the class. At last I only want to say that if you made attendance is compulsory you should have to recruit better professor in every field if it happens there is no any issue about the attendance.

Hi Guys,

There are many things to consider before taking this decision that "Is compulsory attendance really needed in college or not" ?

First I'd like to say that there are two kinds of colleges 1. Government Colleges 2. Private Colleges.
And both of colleges having two different kinds of programme 1. Regular classes 2. Distance learning programme. When we pay a handsome fee for any particular course so we have to attend all the classes because there we face a particular stander of management in which we get a lot of knowledge from a higher stander faculties. In other hand, when we pay a nominal fee so it is obvious that we would not get a good knowledge because there would not be enough fund to manage its management for better knowledge to the students. Actually, compulsory attendance is not really needed but needed as per our opted course of mood.

Finally, I say that there is no problem of taking compulsory attendance for adult students if they face a higher stander of management because fixed management gives all those things through which students can visualise their better future dreams before those classes in the college.

Thanks.

Attendance in classes has been considered as an integral part of college curriculum. Should attendance in classes be compulsory? In my humble opinion, it should not be.

1) There are many students who need to prepare for competitive exams like banking, SSC etc. along with their academic course. They need extra time to cope up with the two. In such a case, compulsory attendance becomes a fact to worry.

2) There are students who have a good command on basics and have the ability to study themselves, and to levels deeper than what are witnessed in classes. Such students may study even without a teacher.

3) In some colleges, teachers do not teach well; attending classes holds no special significance.

Thus, I feel that compulsory attendance is not needed in college level. Those who feel that they require external instruction must be allowed to take, while those who think they can do well by studying at home, should not be forced for regular attendance. Such students may be permitted to attend classes corresponding to a topic they did not understand at home. I feel that there must be such provisions.

According to me, yes it is really necessary but it should not be 100% it is OK with 75% and the reason behind it is that as we come to a teenage we start thinking many things and one moment in life comes that we get distracted. If your mind is focused then it is well-en good but mostly are distracted. Yah it is true If the teacher cannot create interest in the class, there is no point in attending his classes regularly but there many other teachers who explains very well.

Let me give you my own example,

We have total 8 subjects with 7 teachers and strength is around 52 std. Out of 7 teachers, 6 explains very well by giving practical examples but although teachers are explaining well enough student don't give proper attention. In our class, only 34 std study with interest and all others makes them self-busy in doing useless things and this thing is out of mind for me.

But at least by compulsory attendance, it is possible that students will gain somewhat knowledge just by hearing, writing or direct asking question by teachers which is not possible if they are not going to college.

I think there is no need of compulsory attendence in college. It is because now we are studying such a things which used in industry 20 years ago and there is a college for all about 9 hours of a day. Means we are actually wasted 9 hours of a day in studying those things which are not in existence. Due to this attendence we all are not able to learn new things, new technologies and we indirectly lagging in competition. We are putting more efforts to learn all outdated technology and studies hard to be topper in class but it is really not useful. In IIT, BITS PILLANI there is no compulsion of attendence and because of this reason only they are able to crack interviews of google, microsoft company. It is because company needs candidates who know about existing and widely used technology. So to learn all this existing and widely used technology we need extra time because our syllabus doesn't contain existing and widely technology. Thus we need some more time to learn all those thing and to be expert in those. It makes easier way for us to sustain in a competition.

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.

According to me, yes, sometimes attendance is compulsory but in another sense it is not.

There are two types of people one who are lazy and don't want to do anything only to stay at home watching Netflix etc all the time for that person it must be compulsory because they will atleast go to college and sit in the classroom and for 75% attendance they attend class and learn something when they can't use mobile then they have only one thing is to sit silent and study.

But on another sense attendance should not be compulsory for those who are motivated towards their goal they know what they are doing and they have decided their path they need not to come college for study and to attend college because sometimes we came college and nothing happens in class that is mere only waste of time for those students.

And yes, attendance must so that students can come college make groups introduce themselves take part in co-cirrcular activity and enjoy college life that is most important part of life and they will connect to college and studies.

Thank you.

Hello everyone.

So, today's topic is is it right to compel us for attending the college or let it on the student. In my point of view, attendance should not be compelled us for college. Let me elaborate this my some points.

- first thing is now we are older enough to understand that what is good for us and what is bad. If I feel that important that I have to go there is no need to compel me for the same.

-college time is the only time when you can do the things that you love.

- in college time study the subject is not the only key to get success in this time we have to learn many other things. Means we have to develop ourselves. Develop skills we have to be better in every aspect.

-the main thing is if teachers teach us the level that we are interesting. Why we start to bunking the classes is we feel like we are wasting our time without gaining.

- college should improve their teaching quality.

So what I mean to say that let student decides in what they have to involve themselves they know where do's lead to them.

Hello Guys, I am not going in this topic so large because every student have different perspective own their own. I have mentioning the fact that's it.

1) For some student it matters a lot. These are those student that who are scared to these kind of stuff that if you not come and maintain 75% attendance then we will suspend you.

2) In some good Institute it matters a lot because they are reputed Institute and also they have very good professors and Lecturer their to teach them. So a strictly Provenance is there in Institute and attendance matters a lot like in Bits Pilani and some other private Institute.

3) But When we talk about Middle level or lower level Colleges, I think that it is not compulsory that we have maintained 75% attendance (Not all College). But a self study is the best plan to focus and reach the goal that you have set.

4) Conclusion is that for a Good Institute it is compulsory to having attendance but in low or middle level colleges it should not be there any criteria of attendance in College.
