Is compulsory attendance really needed in college?

According to me, attendance is not needed in colleges because students are mature enough to think what they need. Physical Presence will not work. It is not the right time to force the college students to attend classes compulsory since they are capable of taking their decisions.

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.

Attendance should not be made compulsory because students should get chance to learn new things which is only possible when they will do some extra activities. And it should be made compulsory only in 1st and 2nd year because discipline is also an important thing. Minimum attendance should be 60%. Attending to college activities should be made compulsory rather than attendance because study and participation in extracurricular activities both are equal.

Hi Guys,

I think the attendace is not mandatory because of attending all the lectures it means total waste of the time, all the teachers are not teaching as fresh mind and some are the boaring lectures, if the attendance crieria is 40% then it will be fine for us, because of final year and third year students busy in project or the some private classes if they attending the all lectures then they can't do remaing things, so no attendance is no matter.

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.

I think it depends on the college education system ie teachers, HOD.

If knowledge is being imparted nicely in the class then attendance must be taken seriously. But if no proper study is going on in class then attendance should not be taken into consideration.

Less attendance shows less interest of the student. (if proper classes is being held).

And in that case, attendance should be compulsory.

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.

Hello, every one!

In my opinion, there should be a minimum percentage of attendance mandated by colleges for the overall growth of students. There is always two sides for a coin. If there is no compulsory attendance then students would be busy in roaming with friends and watching movies. They will be distracted from the goal. On the other hand, if the student has to sit in a classroom for all the time then would not be qualitative but rather quantitative. So there should be balance between holidays and classes.

I think compulsory attendance must be needed in college upto 2nd year students. Because till 2nd yr, students needs to understand their subjects conceptually because these subjects were the basic building block of their respective fields. But for this college must provides best faculties to students so, that students wants to attend the lectures. So, instead of taking daily theory classes, faculties should also try to make their lectures interesting and interactive. Because every students wants to use their theory knowledge by performing some practical work. By this students starts enjoying the learning process. But, from 3rd year to final year the attendance criteria must be reduce to 50%, because during this spam of time all the students were busy on improving their other skills along with their theory subjects. So, for this they need proper time to enhance their skills so that they can focus on their college placements or competitive exams.

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.
