Is compulsory attendance really needed in college?

According to me, compulsory attendance really needed in college. It is due to attendance that many students come to college. Change is important. So when new student comes to college they explore many things, learn, think. They get a new environment. They get a chance to interact with new people, share their views, to work in groups and many more. If there were no compulsory attendances then students would not come to college regularly and they might miss a lot of things as mentioned above. So according to me, compulsory attendance really needed in college.

In my opinion, gaining knowledge is more important than building attendance. A student having high attendance and still gaining no knowledge is useless. Proper utilisation of time is important. And Yes if your college has proper studies routine then you should not be one to miss them for sure. Because college makes our life disciplined. But it overall depend on individual perspective towards studying. Because life is all about pursuing our goals and working towards it ambitiously!

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.

Hi, everyone.

I would ask you "why do everyone go to college ?" for study or attendance.

It's also depends on a student what do you want to do, if they realize that attendance is compulsory for their study, they also join the class. Attendance is not loaded over student by college attendance is simply a record of presence in a class, it's not a certificate of your intelligence. You can not judge any one by their records. Everyone would join the class if the education system as well;.

Thank you.

Hi everyone, in my sight, there should be no rule for attendance in colleges because in India most of the people are from the poor family background. Like that people they don't have enough money for doing anything, at that time they would like to do jobs means part-time jobs, sometimes it'ii turns into a full-day then assume that what happened, they can't reach to college. So automatically their percentage of attendance will be reduced. What I'm saying is the most talented persons on this planet like Newton, Einstein, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg etc. , they also didn't go to colleges/schools properly, but they became as successful people. REMEMBER THAT. Thank you.

Nowadays, compulsory attendance means to force the students to come college and attend the lectures atleast but this thinking has nothing to do with better education for youth.

I would like to explain, why it is not needed.

1. During exam time, we take notes from the front benchers because in every class atleast one student is always making serious notes without caring for attendance. So even if students attend the class, they will not have attention towards lectures which is a failure of the aim of making compulsory attendance.

2. Our internet media nowadays are more friendly enough to make things understandable than our teachers, so students do not go to ask the doubt in college, instead of, they just google it.

So, compulsory attendance is like a jail if you are not interested in attending classes.

In my point of view, attendance need not be compulsory because every student has his own interests, so he may get bored in other classes, which are not his interest. It means that if he is interested in any subject his mind forces him to learn it.

I think No, Because if any student interested in any teacher lecture then he automatically attend his lecture, there is no need to force for attend the lecture, and if any student doesn't able to understand any teacher lecture then he can read its content from other places like as from video lecture, and he/she refer any book for this, why he wastes his time in lecture when he/she not able to understand teacher lecture, and there is another thing if attendance became compulsory then student will not give the attention in other activity and I think which is compulsory for everyone because after college everyone meets to industries where they will work, and if they busy only in the theory classes during their college life then they feel boring in industries life.

I think attendance should not be compulsory. It is just a waste of time if you attend the college just because of attendance.

If a student has a real interest in a subject, he will definitely attend.

No doubt it will increase the laziness if a student is sitting home, not doing anything. But for this making, an attendance compulsion is not a solution.

Those who want to prepare their study by sitting at home, attendance is a major factor which is wasting their time.

So I think attendance must not be mandatory.

According to my point of view, the attendance in college are compulsory but not 100% at least 50 to 60%.

The main reason behind that'.

If we attend 50 to 60% college atleast we have some theoretical as well as some practical knowledge and now days practical knowlege is more importent to survive in any organization or industry.

That is very helpful for our upcoming future.

But if we do not attend the classes and lab then we have not any practical knowledge.

We can pass the university exam by study through the internet and many materials available in the market only to pass the exam.

BUT.

By this we can get only degree NOT a good job.
