This is crazy. Just visualize this. Heard it happened in a college nearby. A student doesn’t get to sit in internal class test of 30 marks coz he has poor attendance. A new rule has been made, guess what!! It’s divided into various percentages of attendances for the four years of B.Tech. For first years, its close to 75%, and decreasing slowly to 55% for fourth years. Before the internals, your attendance would be checked, if you qualify, you sit for the 30 marks test, else get default 12 in it. Now, coming back to the basics, why would a student actually want to not attend classes? Considering he has no personal problems or engagements, why would he not attend the classes if they are conducted in such a way that we can’t even think of a substitute of classroom teaching? No, let’s make it very clear. Am not blaming the faculty here. I am blaming the entire system here. Why would a student, who can self-study without attending a single lecture and score above 90% marks, would attend classes? To be allowed to sit for the internal tests? Isn’t this the crappest logic and wastage of talent ? It would have been much better if classroom teaching is organized in such a way that we are looking forward to attend each an every class rather than being forced to do them. The absolute essence of learning and getting educated will come to the forefront, and all these non-sense about attendance and internals would be forgotten. They would exist of course, but of no use, as we all would be having close to 100% attendance !! Just hoping when thing turn around and create more opportunities for students like us to get the best out of the system. It’s time to act, yes, but not in an illogical way. To get the brats attend classes, get some stricter rules out of the bag, but not this, which affects everyone, even the guy who may have genuine reasons to have missed classes. Get a student profile with feedback from teachers to decide on a student, this would help, I guess.
