Several factors can contribute to college students not completing their courses. These challenges may be academic, personal, financial, or a combination of various factors. Here are some common reasons:

1. Academic Challenges:

   • Difficulty with Course Material: Some students may struggle with the academic content, finding certain subjects or topics challenging.With a well equiped library and computer laboratories at TIBS College, students can navigate these challenges easily.
   • Poor Time Management: Balancing coursework with other responsibilities can be difficult, leading to procrastination and incomplete assignments.

2. Personal Challenges:

   • Health Issues: Physical or mental health problems can significantly impact a student's ability to attend classes, complete assignments, and stay focused.We always encourage students to seek counselling advices from our professional college counselor.
   • Family Responsibilities: Some students may have family obligations or caregiving responsibilities that make it challenging to prioritize their studies.
   • Lack of Motivation: If students are not passionate about their chosen field of study or lack clear career goals, they may lose motivation to complete their courses.

3. Financial Issues:

   • Financial Constraints: Financial difficulties, including the cost of tuition, textbooks, and living expenses, can force students to work long hours, limiting their time for studies.
   • Job Demands: Some students may work part-time or full-time jobs to support themselves, making it difficult to manage work, school, and personal life effectively.

4. Social and Emotional Factors:

   • Isolation and Loneliness: Feeling socially isolated or lonely can affect mental health and academic performance.
   • Stress and Anxiety: The pressure to succeed, coupled with academic demands, can lead to stress and anxiety, impacting a student's ability to focus and complete coursework.

5. Inadequate Support Services:

   • Lack of Academic Support: Some students may struggle due to a lack of access to tutoring, academic advising, or other support services.
   • Limited Counseling Services: Inadequate mental health support on campus can contribute to students feeling overwhelmed and unsupported.

6. Transition Challenges:

   • Adjustment to College Life: The transition from high school to college can be challenging, and some students may struggle to adapt to the increased academic expectations and independence.
   • Culture Shock: Students from different backgrounds may experience difficulties adjusting to a new culture, language, and educational system.

7. Institutional Factors:

   • Limited Course Availability: Difficulty in accessing required courses can prolong the time to graduation.
   • Inadequate Advising: Insufficient guidance and support from academic advisors may lead to poor course selection and planning.
