Is compulsory attendance really needed in college?

I am gonna list both merits and demerits.

Merits:

1. It helps you to form a habit of getting up early in morning and to go College. Why this habit is necessary? Often after college students start to do a job in a company and he/she finds it very difficult to get up and reach workplace at proper time. College enforces these habits in you from the starting day.

2. In college often during lectures, you need to be attentive and if you are doing this exercise kind of every day for 4 years it really increases your focus.

This point doesn't hold for each and every college in India (Except for IIT's, NIT's and some top private Institute like BITs, Shiv Nader University, Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, Thapar University, etc).

3. If you got really good professors or mentors who are master at their craft then your four years would be no less than heaven on earth. You will learn a lot, work or study with amazing people who know what they are doing.

Demerits:

1. As most of the institute in India are poorly funded they often do not employee good professor who are aware of current market trends and are incapable in teaching necessary skills to students.

2. Students who are doing good academically, submitting all the assignments should never be bothered by college management for attendance related issues because as a student he/she is doing everything which he/she is expected of doing.

3. If he/she wants to do anything else that is apart from his normal studies then college should fully support him/her.

At last, I want to say that continuous blackmailing by college management for maintaining 75% attendance is absurd and has no logical background.

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.

Compulsory attendance is really needed in this contemporary world.

Students of present generation are getting easily diverted from the current aims and goals. They are anxious to know new things and wanted to explore more. But this can be done by focusing on education too. The balance between Entertainment and Education is not properly handled by students. So compulsory attendance is necessary in colleges so that parents can guide their children and even teachers can help them out at work if they attend less no of classes.

In my opinion, a minimum amount of attendance is necessary to make the students aware of the syllabus and knowledge about the subjects. But our educational system should include such courses which will influence the students not only academically, but also creatively and morally.

The courses should be made more interactive and which will create an urge among the students to attend college regularly. The role of teachers plays a major role in shaping the overall development of students. The amount of attendance in colleges should be reduced to 50% instead of keeping it 75% and above. Out of 100%, 45-50% attendance should be made necessary to cover up the required syllabus, 25% should be given to students to make use of good opportunities in the real world so that they get used to the professional world before actually entering it. And the rest 25 % should be given to students for self-study and relaxation.

Hi friends,

I am Kavitha,

According to my point, is no needed to 100% in collages, why Because of almost students physically present, Mentally off sent.

In Our Life, college duration very important. Because in college days teach us everything.

The Thing needs to change the education system. Education not only our life, We need more Extra activities, Practical classes, innovative classes, .

After finish college, reading and writing exam is not valid. They expect from us talent and practical knowledge, situation handling and etc. , So We learn from all these in collages. Highest percentage is not a matter. We need a knowledge, . So first of all changing education is the system. And students automatically comes to college. This duration very important in everyone life. So Students Realizes What is the purpose we are going to collages. What we need in our life.

Out of Tamil Nadu. Singapore. &. Other countries. The classes totally differ. They conduct half-day classes. Remaining half day. They teach sports and Dance, Karate. Extra. So Students love the way of teaching. Students never getting boring. The students doing the part-time job during collages.

Finally, 50 % attendance holder having a good position in a company, as same time 100% attendance holder having a lower position in a company and life.

So attendance is not a matter. We need a change the way of teaching and Learning.

Thank you.

Hello guys, I am too a victim of 75 % attendance criteria but I would like to put my point in the favor of cumpulsary attendance as someone should be in the favor of it while GD.

So, as I experienced in my college days, compulsory attendance is much required, specifically for an engineering graduate. I can tell you with my experience, students not going to college, waste their time on youtube, watching web series, games and so on and soon they get addicted to it. I too suffered from this problem. Going to college can help to maintain our daily activities in a good way, we will come back with some learning atleast. If you are not interested in the class lectures, you can sit in the college library and study whatever you want. So, I strongly believe everyone should go to college. By waking early in the morning, and going to the gym followed by a healthy breakfast we can focus on our study and can secure a healthy four-year college.

Thanks.

I think 100% attendance compulsion in college is not necessary because college is the only platform of our whole future professional and social life. So during college period we have opportunity to built our interest our hobby. But regular classes might be limits the mind of students they will not Abel to think out of classroom lecture and if they are listening the lecture forcefully there is no advantage, that is waste of time if they are not intended they can't adopt anything.

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.

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.

Why the attendance must be compulsory in colleges. The thing is that these criteria just messes up students mind and rather fulfilling their attainment of skills they are fulfilling their attendance. And due to this after 4years of engineering, they realise they needed to do something else. Now, I have a question for every one of you do you want to have a skill India or a dumb India fulfilling its attendance criteria.
