No,

Attendance is not mandatory as now a day's in India theoretical knowledge is been given to students mainly in Btech colleges and in maximum number of colleges faculties are only not aware of what they are teaching they just mug up the text and they just doattend the exam and some of the front bunch students take notes of them. And all the students at least don't even know what they are listening and what is going on in class it is due to lack of interest. So it's better to give freedom to students to choose their career.

My parents gave me the freedom to choose my career and so I'm doing some projects staying at home. Even my friend and faculty are not aware of this thing so from past 1month I didn't attend college so everyone is making fun of me it seems even faculty.

Thank you.

Yes, compulsory attendence must be needed in colleges. It is beneficial for students to be punctual in life and these are the small things that make them punctual.

Yes, compulsory education is needed in college in now a days. Because without proper guidance we may not move in the right direction. Even though we are having video lectures it won't help us to get the subject deeply and an education without a proper guidance is sailing in the undirectional boat so for this purpose we need attendance compulsory.

From my point of view, attendance must not be compulsory in colleges because there are some students who have to change cities on a frequent basis for their career requirements, and if it is done, it would hamper their growth.

Attendance must be mandatory in colleges as it is in schools.

Parents spend their hard spent money for their children's education. The Government gives scholarships to motivate students to study.

If attending classes is not necessary, there should be no colleges and everyone can do online courses.

Learning takes place through a Guru (teacher) who not only teaches you the text but also shares his/her wisdom. Also, learning takes place through interaction with peers.

Attendance should be through bio metric scans.

Hi everyone.

From my point of view, attendance in the college is not important because it doesn't show ones punctuality. In does not affect ones future.

Bunking of classes also one of the enjoyment for students.

But it also has negative side. Most of the students are taking this as advantage and they are often bunking the classes.

Hi everyone.

Actually, I don't think so. From my point of view, attendance will not going measure the punctuality of an individual. If teachers will teach something productive along with the usual syllabus it will definitely put some interest in a individual to attend the classes. Thank you.

Hello everyone,

According to me, attendance must be made compulsory in colleges. In today's world, there are so many things that distract students like drugs, mobile phones etc. If attendance is not made compulsory, the students will fall prey to bad habits and spoil their future as well. Further introducing compulsory attendance ensures that the students develop discipline, punctuality which makes them more professional and well-groomed for the industry. These values cannot be developed overnight, but have to be practiced in student days itself.

Hi.

Mandatory attendance is overall better for society. It raises the bar of general education and protects children from being diverted to early labour or left ignorant of their capability.

It makes the society more equal and more competitive in the world.

Hi friends this is Gautam.

I don't want to hesitate attendance because it will build up my punctuality other than many knows or etc.

For eg: Assume that I am working in MNC. I am well knowledged and well professional although if I don't provide my attentivity or concentration or regularity in my work it will affect all my good things so attendance is mandatory because it not gives you any knowledge but teaches the regularity. Which should be followed in our day to day life.

Thank you, Friends.
