Why Students Fail in College

In college life, students mostly come across with the prevalent statements from teachers and parents like you can’t indulge in extracurricular activities; first finished off the college work. The fear is usually infusing in college student’s mind that if he/she will not study diligently, then he/she can’t accomplish the goals for the rest of life. Still, many students flounder and fail. It’s a crystal clear fact that education is of paramount importance in flourishing the future of any country, so it’s a well apt idea to ponder over the roots of student’s failure at college.

Root Causes of Student Failure at College
The major root causes of the student failure at college are as under

Lethargic Educational System

The lethargic education system is one of the core reasons that college students fail in their examination. The present educational system implicates mammoth students in the tantamount classroom with different abilities, science of mind, and interests.The college curriculum is turning millions of students into robots. If the doctor prescribed the exact same medicines to all the patients, then result would be tragic. When it comes to college, this is exactly what happens. When one teacher stands in front of 30 students, and each student is having different needs, strengths, abilities, and dreams. If teacher teaches the same thing in exactly the same manner which is horrific. The college curriculum is designed by the policy makers, and most of which have never taught a day in their life. The other indolent aspect of education system is that it favors memorization over the research.These docile aspects demotivate the students and many of them are unable to succeed at college.

Poor Study Habits 

Many students fail at college because of their imbecilic study habits as they don’t give their dedicated time to their study.The students  don’t explore endless learning opportunities like college library books, neither they have reading habit, therefore, many students can’t survive in college.

Procrastination of time 
The famous adage said by Edward Young and I quote ‘Procrastination is the thief of time ‘is indeed, brim a glockenspiel for everyone. It’s a loud and clear that time is an indispensable facet of life as it roars “Switch in time saves nine” phenomena  Procrastination is a multifarious behavior that affects studies of the college student. The more college student will procrastinate, more he/she will lose and ultimately things will turn to calamity because once time is lost, it can’t be retrieved .Stressing on this crucial issue, Holmes preferred golden time over sliver dime as he was at beck and call to renounce his sliver, but not his time because time is having more worth than acquiring the sliver.

Poor understanding of Question Paper

The understanding of the questions is a part of an examination. Sometimes, exam questions are precarious that requires brainstorming. If student reads a question wrongly, then how come he can answer in aptly manner? This is one of the core reason, student fails in college examinations. So understanding the questions are of paramount importance. The examiner usually gets annoyed over poorly articulated answers by the student which further affect the student’s performance
