A Study of Student Perception on Printed Study Material Distribution Model at Srinivas Institute of Management Studies

Abstract

Once 160,000 undergraduates in the University of California system were asked to name the obstacles that hinder their academic success, the students listed various aspects, but the number one reason, which was given by 33% of the students, was that they simply didn’t know how to study. This seems to be a hard reality when it comes to even Indian colleges. As a solution to this problem, an Innovative practice was adopted by Srinivas Institute of Management Studies and started to follow a model of distributing " Study Materials" to the pupil for each semester in their undergraduate programme. Since last few years this practice had a mixed response in college from the student community. Students have multiple opinions regarding this approach of college. This study titled “a study of student perception on Printed study material distribution model, a case study of students at Srinivas Institute of Management Studies with special reference to MBA & BBM students” is intended to empirically study the actual students’ perception towards the model and reinvent possible improvements if needed with the help of student’s inputs to facilitate student friendly learning.
