  Yup! I agree with you. Even the lecturers nowadays don't teach properly.
  And most importantly, many of them lack basic teaching skills (and knowledge too).😡

  My highest attendance in my college days was 54 % in first year. Other than that I never touched 50% in other 3 years... Used to enjoy bunking luctures 😁; however I made a record of attending 100% practicals in all the subjects in all 4 years.

  How nice it will be if someone would have told me you can attend a class any time when you need it or are in mood of studying or asking some doubts. They should never be forced on us by making mandatory 😐

  Though I wouldn't agree with mandatory attendance, I can't understand why you would not go? If you find it boring and do not want to attend, would it not be better to change majors or not attend college?

  I always used to maintain 95%+ attendance always. The least percentage I had faced is 87%(this semester). Actually In my view, attendance and time sense are very important for people and they are must to follow. They shows your sincerity. I wont agree to the marks that came without attending the classes. I bet, definitely there is a difference between the good attendees and bad attendees.
  
  And there is a permission of attendance to the Ill candidates up to 60% I think and have to provide medical certificate.

  guys i m really sick of these attendence rules for claases started by unversities...
  are you guys too.
  even at this stage when i m in college i have to go for atleast 75% attendence just to qualify for the exams. even i found my lech. boaring then also i hav no option left then to attend the lech. just sitting at the end and sleeping. not really always
  but i sleep only in those classes which i find boaring...
  
  also there is no concrete relationship between attendance and performance
  agree or not?

  Huh....u are sick with 75% in my college its 85%.Seriously its ridiculous.If you want to put a barrier then make it something like 60-65%,but 75 or 85% is really not acceptable....

  If students think they can pass the course without going to the class then why should they be forced to show up.

  i think this maintaining of attendance is just for students sake just think if there is no mandatory attendance no one will come to classes and dont attend to lectures so they can lose basics and many important things
  keeping more attendance compulsion is also wrong 70 or 75% can be acceptable in my view as i maintain 80% in my sem so i agree with the college rules
  and our college management also consider the student problems and assign leaves according to there problems
  for example
  if any one met accident and got 3 months rest they must accept the mc and they should allow him/her to allow the exams
  and shouldnt detain the people for such reasons
  and i also know a college where my friend is studying they are cutting 15% of attendance just for the money and they are saying this was made just for a reason and they answering the reason
  this type of mantallity and rules are wrong
  this is my view friends correct me if i done anything wrong or if i hurt your feelings

  Interesting point. I totally agree.
  I got full marks (50/50) for my Computer Concepts and Programming subject.
  I had attended 5 classes out of 67.
  I was asked to bring my parents, can u believe that?
  I am very good at that subject and the lecturer(shes calls herself that) couldn't answer my doubts in the first class itself!
  I told my HOD that in front of the lecturer 😁!!
  However i suck at maths, and i try to attend every class..
  
  My point being that 'Mandatory attendance' should only be imposed on people with unsatisfactory marks.
  If you're not interested in attending the damn class, how will u listen to the lecture?? You'll just end up chatting(or doodling in my case) for the whole lecture!

  My university has laid down new rules...
  Monthly Attendance Report!!!
  The Vice Chancellor himself takes care of the defaulters..
  Man.. This is tough going for the students who lazily take the 1st half of the semester and rush to classes at the end to compensate for their attendance shortage..
  Well subjects not mattering for higher studies or for jobs should not be considered for mandatory attendance..like Engineering Mechanics for Electronics students.

  It should not be binding though.It is student's responsibility 😀

  If attendance is not made compulsory, there would just empty desks and benches in the classrooms. I agree to the fact that today just a few lectures are worth attending due to the bad quality teaching or whatever, but for students who don't even open their books before the exams, these lectures at least make them acquainted with the syllabus and everything.
  
  I too bunk classes but I see to it that my attendance is always above the required percentage.

  I never attend the class for attendance but for knowledge .. so there should be no attendance mandatory for sitting in exams as in who are intereted they will must come and those donot they have proxies..
  Proxies are sometime damn easy for the absconers..

  no. it should be the students choice. if a student is not understanding what the professor is teaching. it is better he does not come and studies on his own. but yes then he needs to prove it in exam..
