TO COMPARE THE DISSATISFACTION OF ART SCIENCE,AND,COMMERCE WITH REFERENCE TO ABSENTEEISM

The study of absenteeism is very important for any college. The word absenteeism means the absence of
student from class when he is scheduled to be present at school/college. When teacher has no information in
advance, that the student will not reputed for class if he has taken leave to which he is entitled or on ground
of sickness or in case of accident. Thus absence may authorized or unauthorized wilful or caused by
circumstance beyond teacher's control.Absences create a dead, tiresome, unpleasant classroom environment
that makes students who come to class uncomfortable and the lecturer irritable (Marburger
2001).Absenteeism disturbs the dynamic teaching-learning environment and adversely affects the overall
well-being of classes(Segal 2008).Student absenteeism also causes rework and wasted time for lecturers
(Lalek 1995,Rumberger 1997).In quality terms; absenteeism is a waste of educational resources, time and
human potential. According to Williams (2000), Students who have absenteeism problems generally suffer
academically and socially. Studies indicate that students who are absent have lower achievement and may be
penalized on test scores(Barker andJansen 2000). Continued loss of instruction or poor academic
achievement among students with high absenteeism is essential characteristics of students who later dropout
of school(Mayer and Mitchel 1996).In India in almost all universities and colleges 75% attendance is
mandatory failing which can either affect the grade of the student or even end in his failure.
