Is compulsory attendance really needed in college?

Attendance in college need not to be compulsory, the reason behind this is that, when college declare the 100% attendance rule, students makes limits for themselves. They don't get involved in any extra curricular activities, sports, cultural events etc. Which is very necessary for their personality development. They only think that class should no be missed. They only do lecture for attendance. This looses their willing power of learning. They do lecture forcefully and get bored during lectures and pass the comments during lectures for their entertainment and this is loosing the quality of education. Students are loosing their interest in curricular subjects and they study only for getting marks. If this rule is not there then the students do the lectures according to their interest. If students are interested then the teachers will also efforts more for the teaching and there will be quality education.

Hi everyone,

I respect everyone's thinking but in my opinion, it shouldn't be a compulsory option. 30% attendance should do mandatory só students will get more time for their studies and if it actually happens so students will only come to clarify their doubts but Causing 70% attendance or more pressurises a person to come in college. If a person wants to build up a start-up or do internships, it is difficult for him or her to miss the chance. College should make students qualitative not quantitive. But I respect every college's decision why 75% attendance should do mandatory but I think, What we are now some of us will be professors or will be in the higher authorities at a time so at that time we should think about that what you faced when you are in the college. We all students want to make our future better so at that time when you are in the higher authorities you should think about that.

Hello, everyone.

According to me. Compulsory attendance is needed and viable for schools only. Compulsory attendance in college doesn't make any sense to me. Even in my college and many other colleges compulsory attendance was there. But less was strictly it was being followed. And in other colleges, it was being found that some students going for private tuitions of their class teachers were awarded attendance which was undue and the others not going to their tuitions had to suffer. And if their attendance is below the required attendance, they had to pay money to get their attendance increased. The students fro rich families can do so. But what about the poor ones? However, in schools, they were debarred from sitting in the exams, which doesn't happen in most of the colleges. So what I think of an attendance system in colleges are that it is totally a money making a concept. Thank you.

I think compulsory attendance is needed in every college. But it should not be high. It should be minimum 50-55% because students may not like every lecture and they may need time for self-preparation for different examinations. But minimum attendance requirement should be their in every college otherwise if the student doesn't attend the class at all then he should better do a correspondence course. Also, the lecturers should teach in such a way that the students will be interested in attending the classes, they should not be forced to attend the class. And also if the student is self-disciplined and punctual than he will automatically attend the class and the students who are not interested will find different reasons not to attend the class. So that's why the attendance requirement should be minimum so that students will at least know what is going on in the college.

Friends in my point of view, Attendance is should not be compulsory in colleges. Because college stage is the time to know everything that is happening in around the individual. But nowadays colleges are running from MORNING to EVENING, than what is the difference between college and school. This condition leads to restricting to schools only, which knowing only a book knowledge, their they making a student's as a un-knowledgeable in general knowledge, which is results as unproved persons in several talented tests without coaching by paying an extra special fee. So, I'm suggesting that Please create a college by running a half session's or by giving weakly holidays along with Sunday in regular, at that time it uses a student's to learn whatever they interested. PLEASE DON'T CREATE A SITUATION TO ATTEND A COLLEGE, without INTERESTED. Thank you.

Hello everyone,

First of all, compulsory attendance is not really needed. Let me elaborate,

There are some students who come to college for gaining some knowledge and then there are those students who are forced to attend college due to pressure from parents. There is also a choice conflict. Some students may not like the branch or subject and hence they bunk classes, or they might feel that they are not gaining anything out of the subject. These days our education system is not compatible. Whether the student likes the class or not he/she has no choice but to attend them as shortage of attendance can detain them or they won't have enough credits to go to the next semester. I think that we should be given our freedom to decide what we want to study and how we want to study. Compulsory attendance just binds us to the college like a contract.

Attendance is nothing but make a habit for the student that they come in the college almost everyday. It's not mandatory that students have to make a full attendance in college. It's just follow the rules and regulations for any institute.

Attendance should not be compulsory in any college. If any student get interest of teaching process of any subject then he automatically want to attend the class as much as possible to learn that subject. Students can't do any other thing apart from studies where he feel to interest due to forcefully come to college. They did't get enough time to spend in some his own choice-able area what he want to do if they have to spend a more boring time in college according to him.

Attendance need not to be made compulsory if the learning process of any institute be innovative by which a student can be attracted.

Hello. For me, attendants should not be made compulsory in schools or colleges cause being educated is a self-choice. Education can not be entrusted. Many students find it easier and more helpful studying at home rather than attending classes. There is a good penetration of distance education in western countries and those people also thrive in their lives. If a student attends class regularly and not doing the homework then the very purpose is not solved. Moreover, govt needs to understand why students find lectures monotonous and bunk the classes. Even many a time even students attend classes they are not properly attentive. Studies should be made interactive and more participatory rather than one-way lectures so that instead of making attendants compulsory students themselves will attend the classes for their own interest. Thank you.

I want to ask a question that what is the purpose of attending class above 75 % attendence?

The answer is just for learning and gaining knowledge but you know very well that every teacher are not able to do this kind of knowledge or subject which are not interesting and just for making the marks.

And college assume that we are workers just doing duty from 9 to 5 not at all we are students who wants to make career with our interest and grow our skills but all that happens not in a limitation. Learning is a thing that can take from anywhere, anytime but not in prison where they are forcing you to do something that is not understandable and beneficial for their growth.

At the end I collect my points and conclude that 40-50 % attendence is enough apart from 75 college can give the tasks which is beneficial for their future.

Thank you.

Hi friends.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

Maintaining attendance in the colleges are considered to be some cases it will give Good results. And some cases it will give Bad results.

First, we will discuss the importance of the positive results. If you are regular to the classes it will give the confidence levels is generated and the thinking capacity increases, it is the easy way of reaching success.

Some of the demerits are also included in the maintaining of compulsory attendance not possible in daily life because all the students have not come with the same background. If they are also leading their family in similar of continuation of their studies is maintaining of attendance is not possible.

These are the basic good and bad results in the maintaining of attendance in colleges.

Thank you
