Is compulsory attendance really needed in college?

According to me, attendance in college should not be made mandatory because I think knowledge can't be gained just by having good attendance. You may be physically present in the class just for maintaining attendance and getting saved from being detained in sessional. This type of attitude is not good. Students should maintain attendance only in those lectures in which they have interest. This will increase the level of quality education in students. Apart from that as my friends are saying that having good attendance shows you are disciplined, then I must tell them that discipline cannot be taught or judged on these minor basis. A person learns discipline from the ups and downs of his/her life.

From my point of view, attendance should be compulsory in college. Because the regular classes teach us the time management, punctuality and discipline. And the main que. Is that why classes are imp. Because of my friend when the teacher or professor teaches us than most of the things we will never find on books and sometimes they share their experience which gives us a motivation. If I am talking about discipline then yes, its imp. Because after graduation, this discipline behavior will help you to grow. And get a job. And also it might be chances of growth in any company.

Yes.

In my view, attendance should be taken in the colleges, because there is no guarantee that student will do study after bunking the class if he/she is in the class then at least the student will learn few new works by just attending the lass. And also it students will become punctual and under discipline.

Yes, Of course, Compulsory attendance is needed in college so that all students would attend the college instead of wasting their fruitful time, doing gossips on unused topics and banking the college for wasteful things and if sometimes really student had some important work he could take the permission of teachers instead of bunking the college. From this students will learn the meaning of punctuality, regularity, discipline, Etc.

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 view, attendance is not needed at all. That to be compulsory. No way. As we students like to attend the class which we believe to be informative or useful. That means teacher taught well. At this point, everyone s interested in attending the class. Whereas at the other side, we don't want to sit for the class which we fly to be bored. So it depends on teachers to maintain the attendance in the class as if the class will be interesting everyone will sit for it. The whole concludes. No compulsion should be there for attendance.

Hi, I am Sindhu.

Attendance is made compulsory so that students are strictly made to attend the classes and not bunk and wasting time. And also if there was no thing as attendance to be maintained. We could have opted correspondence courses. Why waste money to get only the eligibility for attendance?

Yes, I fully support the topic. Attendance doesn't mean physical presence only. It is all about decorum and discipline. It highlights the qualities like punctuality, sincerity and devotion. It paves the way for being a law-abiding citizen. Waiving of attendance is neither in the interest of student nor for the institute.

Many students tend to come to college, just for the sake of attendance, but not even half of them tend to listen to the lectures conducted, while some go off to sleep. So whats better, stay at home and study what ones interested in or get attendance and loaf around college.

Hi, everyone. According to my point of view, it is necessary to take attendance in college. Because it helps students to know the importance of time management, discipline, punctuality etc. We must know its importance. After getting graduated from a college most of the students opt to go for a job rather than further studies. At that time wherever they need to work, they have to be in time at work and need to mark their attendance before the prescribed time at the workplace. Otherwise, it will be a loss of pay. So if they learn to do those things in their college days itself it will not become a problem for them. So personally, I prefer that attendance must be followed in college.
