Is compulsory attendance really needed in college?

Hi guys.

I think it is compulsory but not at all. Because as a student everyone should have their own rights to enjoy their life. We can enjoy our life as a student only. If it is restricted 75% attendance is compulsory, many poor students were not able to attend. Due to their family problems, they are unable to attend. But no one can reach their goals without attending to college. So don't neglect this. As an alternate 60% should enough for engineering life. Not only for engineering but also for every field. I mainly focused on engineering why because I'm an engineering student.

Have an average attendance. It's enough for our life re.

Hello everyone according to my point of view, YES attendance should be compulsory. No1 is perfect here I can agree that we can study ourselves we can understand the things without attending the classes BUT the thing is making understand ourselves and get understand by someone else different. We can google the things we can understand by watching videos but if those are there means what is the necessary of colleges because those are optional as we are all having facilities of that so we can learn ourselves then what about the rural people? City people can bunk and they can read. Whoever having that facility they only can do things as I said. If attendance is not compulsory what is the use of our teachers. If we don't want attendance we can do correspondence course, right? Certain things can be known by lectures only, We are telling we don't want attendance just because of that at end they used to struggle us that's why. If we think about our future we need sufficient knowledge. Because while we going class we don't understand when we came out from the college and will find out the importance. Being regular to class shows out discipline, dedication and patience. If they make compulsory only we can regular or else we can't learn things what we don't know.

Yes, it must be compulsory but only when the faculty of that institute is serious about students, now a days what is happens in most of the colleges whether it may be government or private the faculties were not doing their work properly they came only for earning money anyhow some of them were serious so if an institute want compulsory attendance that institute must have to take feedback from students about there teaching experience. In most cases, some students were studying as well as doing jobs because of their financial problem so it may be a kind of huge task from them to do both. So as my views attendance is directly proportional to teaching staff it means if staff is good attendance must be compulsory in that particular college.

According to me, the requirements of minimum attendance has both merit and demerit. Some students are really passionate about doing various activities and some maybe working on some projects or have joined a course of their interest and will be requiring more time and can not attend college. On the other hand, the student may use the same reasons to escape classes but get engaged in bad activities.

So I think compulsory attendance should be made optional to those with good academic performance so even if the student doesn't attend classes, they are capable enough to study by themselves.

Hi friends!

The attendance system has both advantage and disadvantage.

ADVANTAGE:
Attendance not only reflects the punctual of the students but also their behavior. Some of the students will escape from classes and involve in lot of bad activities if it s not maintained.

DISADVANTAGES:

Some of the students do part time work along with his students and few will do some interested courses. In these cases, definitely the system will not support them.

Hi friends, according to me attendance in college is need but not compulsory. Some student comes college only for attendance because they know that base of attendance they got a good national Mark's so they got good percentage. I think student comes college not only for attendance but they come college for gain knowledge, learn that how to present yourself in front of the world. So my point of view attendance is necessary but not compulsory. We all know the respected "APJ Abdul Kalam" and their attendance in college is not so much I don't state that they never go to college they go to college but only gain knowledge, not for only attendance.

Compulsory attendance in college is not at all needed. College students are above 18, they are more concerned about future then college administrator. All of us are very much aware with the quality of teaching availed in colleges. Compulsion must be made on the basis of % scored in exam. Compulsory attendance does not play any role in students live it rather hamper their creativity and talent.

I think attendance should be compulsory in COLLEGES.

1- First of all, if we have opted for regular degree course, why there should be leniency to the attendance. It should be there i.e.min. Of 60% to 75% of total college days. If someone really doesn't want to attend regular college, he/she should opt for distance learning college program.

2- Marks should not be assigned to the attendance as students just go to college for those 5-10 marks and don't take classes seriously. They watch videos or play games on mobile in classes. It is mere waste of resources.

3- Alternative should be that there should be a continuous evaluation of student attending the classes and mark should be given on basis of how active they are in class activities and studies. This will increase the quality as well as attendance in colleges.

4- Many students gives excuses that they are preparing for a particular competitive exam like CAT, GATE, UPSC etc. These excuses cannot be taken seriously. First of all, when we take admission in college we know that we are interested in a subject and we really want to purse it. If someone wants to prepare he should prepare for these exams in free time or manage things as possible. But not attending college can't be the excuse, as it was our choice at the beginning to do.

Again I want to give the people the alternative that is distance learning program.

5- Working for a college project or course project can be left out from the compulsion of attendance. But in that case also, evaluation project should be done properly by the college authorities.

Last but not the least curriculum of college should be improved so that student really want to attend classes. Evaluation of teacher should be there i.e. whether they are teaching properly or just passing time. There should be anonymous review of teacher through students through rating or be reviewing.

Attendance is not necessary to college because the student reaches in college until they become 18 years old it's a maturity stage.

They have aggressive to own future thus attendance is not necessary for college.

But,
Some students are escaped classes they are going in bad habits due to this big impact on their future thus.

Attendance is necessary for college.

Hello friends,

Why we are focusing on attendance just to enhance the knowledge of students but along with it we should focus on the quality of teaching of a prof. So if they found a prof bad in teaching then they should replace prof with another if possible otherwise allow the students for self-study.

Moreover, everyone has his own way of study and comfortable level if a person is doing good without attending classes then the administration should allow him to study wherever he wants instead of forcing him to attend classes this will affect badly his performance and mentally too.
