Hello Aspirant,

See attendance records is not only mandatory for college but for official purpose because the regulatory Authorities like UGC, AICTE keeps each and every record of student who is studying in any of the college in India and under these regulatory authorities all colleges come. So your attendance is must/mandatory in college records but however there are some universities like IGNOU, Mumbai University IDOL, and so on, which offers distance learning programmes under which you do your college studies at your convenient location and you only have to visit the allotted center for examinations.

I hope this information cleared your doubts.

Good Luck!!
