Is compulsory attendance really needed in college?

Different people have a different opinion about it, I think attending classes should be compulsory because we may not know where our interests lie, in such atmosphere, we tend to find what we really want, we get to meet people and get exposed to the different working environment. No one wants to be a couch potato, not making attendance compulsory would make us one!

I think that it is not necessary to attend college regularly. Because every student has different interests and aims. They can do anything as they want. So, the attendance doesn't matter on a bright future.

Attendence is of prime importance because you never know where your interests lie. Wouldn't you be happy if a certain topic strikes you hard and keeps you occupied the whole day.

Well, I think it altogether depends on the student to student because the student will only sit in the class when he/she finds the faculties & subject knowledgeful & understandable, otherwise he will only daydreaming in lectures, so in my personal opinion it should not be compulsory to have attendance.

According to me, the compulsory attendance is a concept of making someone to sit in the room who is not at all interested in listening.

And it doesn't means that if a student has no attendance he has poor knowledge in the sub in this digital world we can find everything in internet so actually forcing student who has no interest to listen to sit in the class and teaching him is like teaching a rock how to move.

Attendance is not at all important in college. Why because some students are not interested in classes they are interested in any other fields which one they prefer or like more.

Hi Friends,

In my point of view, attendance is mandatory in colleges because, if there are no attendance students can escape some classes and rejoin the classes which they are interested. I agree with all of your points which is mentioned above.

But Finally, I conclude that attendance is very important in colleges.

According to me, the attendance is not compulsory in colleges.

Attending class without any interest is waste of time. There are people who are interested in other fields.

So, 100% attendance should be limited to 50 - 60%.

Yes, definitely if the attendance will not compulsory in colleges then the level of knowledge will degrading day by day because if the attendance is not necessary why student will go in college regularly and if they don't go then they can't able to clear semester with good marks and all these not happen they will not placed in any company and will unemployment rate will highly increase and none of the MNC will come to our college or our country to give jobs because knowledge level is zero then why they will come to waste their time and In this way our youth will be unemployed and having zero level of knowledge what will do just we do labour type work. So, attendance really needed in college.

No, there is not compulsory attendance Because many of colleges having a not good teacher so there are problems for students, if they can't understand their lecture so it's maybe big problems for this career, therefore many of student join the online class for achieving success. Attendance is mandatory but at the limit. Not required 100 percent. The student also comes to colleges for tips regarding the career with their class teacher or principal. Because teachers give the best guidelines.
