3. • It is the stress that comes
from schooling and
education.

hard on college students who

.i.e. by parents or relatives.

important part of life.

5. Some Parents are at their
children’s back, daily pushing
them to excel academically.
Parental pressures to pursue
academics success have both
positive and negative effects
on their children.
This usually happens because
educating a child is now
considered as an investment
for their better future.

6. Forced to study specific subjects
.i.e. by parents or relatives
1) Parents want their children to work
in a profession in which they have a
good chance of succeeding
economically. They feel that the
social sciences and arts in general
donot offer as much potential for
financial success as do engineering,
medicine, business and law.
2) And they are right to some extent.
However, many young people do not
place the same priority on getting a
high salary as their parents do. They
might be more interested in a lower
paying career that matches their
interests.

10. Students want to get
that ‘A’ so
desparetly that they
sacrifice their
creativity and
choose the easy
way out simply to
get a better grade.
Fear of Failure
They come to prefer
easier tasks not
because they are lazy,
but because they are
rational.
After all, if the
point is to get an A,
your odds are
better if you avoid
taking intellectual
risks”

dedication and

priority than

People around parents asking questions about the marks of
children and comparring their kid’s performance.
 Financial issues- Financial issues from their own and
demands from institutions bring pressure to their minds.

ready to listen advices from parents. This brings pressure to
parents.

getting their own pressure by expecting more from the
children. They wanted their children should be on the top of
the academic ladder. Job fear and Employment risk also bring
pressure into their minds.

21. Faculty Or Institutions
• Result oriented expectations – Institutions expecting marks and 100% pass
results from very subjects.
Putting faculty under pressure for not bringing all students at same level, which
is not possible.
Comparing other faculties with one and playing the shame and blame games.
• Students mindset- Students are not hearing advices of Faculties .
Classrooms became a place for Testing Teachers.
Students taking advantages of free – minded faculties and makee them cool by
behavior but not giving results.
Students never understand the purpose of teaching.
• Over load of other works other than teaching - Teachers or Faculties are not
only working in front of students. They have been given other works too.
Institutions giving other responsibilities also affects their classsroom
behavior. Strikes, Sudden leaves, Indifinite closes bring them pressure of
completing the syllabus in given time.
Family issues also affects them.
• Job security - This is the extent to which lack of job security and job changes
are a source of pressure, for example:
------> job insecurity
---- lack of job permanence, e.g. temporary/fixed term contracts
--- Future job change
--- fear of skill redundancy

22.  Interest towards subject – Students are not ready to learn.
Just wants to get marks. So understanding the subject is
difficult to them. Secondly, Not concentrating in class and
sudden questions coming from faculties gives them pressure.
Fear of tests and examinations and
lack of interest in field.
 Family issues and Friends issues –
Problems in real life brings pressure.
Family issues, Father’s job, Mother’s
illness,
Financial situation of the family
are the major reasons.

sms and movies , outing are the
major distractions.
