Is compulsory attendance really needed in college?

Yes, I agree with compulsory attendance really needed in college. In my point of view if anyone attends the lecture of that basic subject and this basic concept gets clear. Attendance is very must because we got a regularity and discipline characters that we do not have so much. After college life, everyone has to go for recruitment in various companies. There, they have to show our talents and there must be required discipline and punctuality. If in college if a lecture is going in a good manner then we have to attend in very conscious manner. Every one have to appear for the competitive exam and various government Jobs. Only we clear that exam when we have to command on that particular subject. So in my point of view attendance is very really needed in college.

I think No, Because if any student interested in any teacher lecture then he automatically attend his lecture, there is no need to force for attend the lecture, and if any student doesn't able to understand any teacher lecture then he can read its content from other places like as from video lecture, and he/she refer any book for this, why he wastes his time in lecture when he/she not able to understand teacher lecture, and there is another thing if attendance became compulsory then student will not give the attention in other activity and I think which is compulsory for everyone because after college everyone meets to industries where they will work, and if they busy only in the theory classes during their college life then they feel boring in industries life.

Hi Everyone,

In my opinion, attendance plays an important role in attending classes and maintain a focus of student towards their studies whether in school or in a college. Because if continuity in classes will break then it will affect their studies. So, attendance ensures discipline in academics.

But these days in some cases we have seen some students will tell at home that they are going to college for studying, but in reality, they will indulge in unnecessary things, and gradually waste their time and money.

But if a student has a valid reason for not attending some classes then they can be given some leverage depending on professor-student mutual understanding. And there should be transparency of attendance to their family if not having good attendance.

Hello everyone, according to my perspective, compulsory attendance is needed in colleges because although college students are matured enough to take decisions on their own they are not matured to properly decide what is right and what is wrong with them. If attendance is not made compulsory then most of them will tend to lose their attention towards studies and may indulge in some other activities and may spoil their career by themselves. So making attendance compulsory may help in avoiding this problem. However, for the one with perseverance, goal oriented, the one who has already decided about his future, the one who knows about his/her parent's sacrifices made to send them to college will not deviate from studies and all other factors will not matter them.

Hello everyone!

I believe it depends on the education culture in the college. If the classes being conducted have nothing to learn from or if one could rather be productive in a different environment, I'd say a high attendance requirement is unnecessary. The authorities should ensure good quality education in these institutions first. There is a big dearth of good teachers in our society anyway and online education seems to have established itself as a more reliable medium for imparting knowledge.

On the other hand, there's a sense of discipline that is put into students via this scheme, if this is explained to them and how important this is, for most work environments and future endeavours, it could possibly be more accepted than it is now.

Thank you!

If college is providing good faculties with enough knowledge of subjects and with proper lecture management without wasting the time of students then students must attend colleges and attendance should be compulsory. But if college is not having good staff with enough knowledge of subject and equipment in laboratories, no proper management of daily schedule then they should not keep attendance compulsory because it is only wasting time of students instead of attending those classes uselessly where teachers are teaching wrong concepts students should stay at home and utilise that time by studying on their own from books or internet tutorials or at any coaching institute. So, it depends on where attendance should be kept compulsory and where not.

Hi guys,

I think it is not required. If students are not interested to sit in the class, then attending the classes for the sake of attendance that doesn't make sense. Before this, the lecturers should understand the psychology of the students whether they are interested or not. Because different students have a different perception. Some students like self-study, some students like group study, some students like to sit in the class and hear the voice of lecturers.

In private colleges, they make compulsory attendance. If students are not attended the classes at the time of examination, they will charge a penalty to sit in the exam.

Finally, every student does have some skills but they have to find it, then only they can reach their goal.

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.

Attendance is something to make one understand the need of hour and lead him towards a well-maintained schedule which is must for a beginner but for a college student I think it act as a cage or a well practice idea of 12 years (as attendance is compulsory in school, it must b) to stop him thinking out of the box which is must create something new something which opens the doors to new arena for human race. . Because I feel that entering the college life is entering the adulthood and to experience its life free of all bounds and using his experience of 12 years of studying in breaking all limits. But with this view, I also want to say that relaxation in ATTENDANCE does not mean of getting stray from your aim.

Thank you.

Hi.

According to me, attendance is not necessary, because there are many students who come only for attendance.

Besides that not for learning and gaining education. At this stage they do not decide their future goals and, what they want in their life.

Also, is not important in too much because in our country most of college teachers, and students the syllabus and it is not enough to crack the competitive exam.

Also, as we all know we are living in the digital world and students can get top- top-level education from YouTube and other websites which is actually most colleges fail to provide.

So, I think compulsory attendance is not important. it's time to gain more skills and some gain practical education.

Thank you.
