Ludwig's WRAP-UP
In summary, the phrase "as per compulsory" is not considered standard English and is rarely used. Ludwig flags it as an incorrect expression. While the intended meaning of adhering to a mandatory requirement is understandable, it's better to use clearer and more conventional alternatives such as "according to mandatory guidelines" or "in compliance with required regulations". These alternatives offer improved clarity and are more suitable for professional and academic writing. The contexts where "as per compulsory" appears are varied, including health outcomes and news reports, but its low frequency suggests avoiding this phrasing in favor of more established expressions.
