• The present study aims to investigate the impact of Indian scholarships on Afghan scholars
specifically in Gujarat; intended to explore and assess scholars’ overall academic
performance with cause-effect and to evaluate the reasons behind why scholars fail. The
study is administered on 150 scholars pursuing bachelors from five major cities in Gujarat,
using a judgmental sampling from three foremost streams. Analysis were carried out using
both descriptive i.e., bivariate analysis and inferential statistics applying non-parametric tests
using α=0.05 with 95% confidence level. The results revealed that the allocation of time for
study, level of English and interest in current field were the main determinants affecting the
overall academic performance of scholars. Nevertheless, satisfaction have had dramatic
impact on their academic abilities, too. Results further disclosed that the correlation
coefficient among the independent variables varied between rs=0.276 being the lowest
positive correlation to 0.658 and a negative correlation of rs=-0.633 to rs=-0.686 with the
significance value of ρ<0.05 ranging from 0.0005 to 0.004. Prior to the findings we
hypothesized that scholars are not given to the stream they selected in their scholarship form,
but the actual scenario was different.
Abstract:
4. • At present, getting a higher education is a dream for both men and women in
Afghanistan.
• The HDI of Afghanistan is still 0.479 which comes under the low human
development category, in Asia.
• India grants 1,000 scholarships each year, becoming the number one destination for
Afghan scholars.
• Most of the scholars acquire scholarships not based on merit but on sprawled
corruption.
• Scholars show no interest in their current field of study having low level in English
resulting into frequent failure in exams.

• The rationale behind this study is contributed to the fact that no study has been done
to explain the reasons of scholars’ failure in examination in Gujarat. This study is the
first qualitative and quantitative analysis attempt to identify the impact of Indian
scholarship on Afghan scholars’ academics as well as career.
Rationale of the Study:
6. • Students who don’t have proper understanding of English neither Hindi language are
given scholarship which has led to massive impact resulting into failure in their
examinations.
• Prior to the selection of stream, most of the scholars are unaware and some are
confused which stream to study abroad the reason is obvious inappropriate
distribution in which this study is intended to study the cause-effects.

7. • The study aims to analyze the factors affecting the scholars’ overall academic performances, achievements,
satisfaction and interest from their current field of study. Nevertheless, the purpose of this study is to
identify the reasons of why scholars feel reluctant to return back to Afghanistan.
• The study is intended predominantly to assess scholars’ following academic areas;
o English proficiency Level.
o Exam Results with number of Backlogs (ATKTs).
o Academic Respective Abilities.
o Interest in their respective fields.
o Level of Satisfaction and
o Time allocation for study.

the adjustment behavior they
use while faced with these
problems.
Academic
Problems
The findings probed that the
main determinant problems
that international students
faced were difficulties in (1)
academics including
academic reading as a major
one, academic language
problems, (2) Difficulties in
social interaction and (3)
Difficulties in handling
emotions.

Findings of the Study
2018 Exploring the
relationship among
international students’
English self-efficacy,
using English to learn
self-efficacy, and
academic self-efficacy
Chih-hsuan Wang,
Jamie Harrison,
Victoria Cardullo,
& Xi Lin
To examine the
relationships among three
aspects of self-efficacy:
English self-efficacy, self-
efficacy in using English to
learn and academic self-
efficacy for non-English
native speaking
international students.
English Self-
Efficacy for
Listening,
Speaking,
Reading and
Writing, English
Self-Efficacy,
using English to
Learn Self-
Efficacy and
Academic Self-
Efficacy.
The study probed that non-
native English speaking
international students’ use
of English to learn self-
efficacy acts as a mediator
between a students’
English self-efficacy and
his or her academic self-
efficacy. Non-native
English language speaking
international students’
English self-efficacy
predicts their self-efficacy
in using English language
to learn, and then predicts
their academics their
academic self-efficacy.

results.

31. 1. Time Factor:
82 scholars consisting of 54.7% had allocated only one hour of their time for study
resulting into only passing marks followed by 1-15 backlogs.
Only 4.7% of scholars were studying more than three hours a day.
H1 was tested as to find out the influence of time on exam results, the test was significant
at 0.0005 probed quite a good result of rs =0.658 suggesting there exists strong positive
correlation between the variables.

2. English Proficiency Factor (a major threat):
• Wang, Harrison, Victoria, & Xi (2018) stated English language as one of the major
challenges for international students to pursue academic goals.
• English is a must in academic era, especially while studying abroad.
• In our study we found almost 30 and 54 scholars whose English level was Beginner
and Elementary respectively. Amongst aforementioned, almost 67 scholars had 1-15
backlogs. and 80 scholars were Very Poor and poor in their academic respective
abilities as tested in H4 and H5.

3. Interest in Current Field of Study:
• H2 was tested as to find whether interest and exam results are related or independent.
• From 150 scholars 67 (44.7%) were not interested in their current field of study,
while among those 67 almost 43 scholars were having only “Pass” results followed
by 1-15 backlogs (ATKTs).
• H3 showed that, amongst 79 scholars from Engineering fields, almost 35 scholars
were interest in “commerce”, astonishingly, 13 scholars from a total of 45 scholars
from BBA showed interest in the “science” field.

• There exists a large gap to be filled by bright scholars having boosted
required academic abilities, which makes them eligible for the
scholarship through the emergence of prolific transparent process of
scholarships being suggested in the study or any supplementary result-
oriented process by the government.
Conclusion:

• The findings will be helpful for the Ministry of Education (MoE) and Embassy to
identify how the current distribution of scholarship has impacted scholars.
Furthermore, to bring necessary amendments in their scholarship granting
procedures.
• The study will explore how to reduce the percentage of scholars being failed.

• An error may have been due to the samples taken not conforming to the actual
population; this is because the sample is a judgmental sample.
• The study has been conducted in Gujarat state, from which we (researchers) have
taken those scholars, which, we assumed would be best for our study. The findings of
our study may not be applied to all other states’ scholars.
• The study has been carried out in two and a half months and we couldn’t able to
stretch the findings further.

• The variables in the study have been chosen by researchers’ own observations which
may vary. Nevertheless, we have conducted a focus group interview for finding the
variables and then, used our own observations to bring selective variables under the
study.
• The major focus of the study was on academics of the scholars in which we come up
short to include other important factors.
• We have only kept those scholars under study who were pursuing, BA (political
Science and economics), BBA, BCA and B.E (aeronautical, civil and mechanical).

• Same research model with appropriate modifications can be expanded to major
population centers of India to get more reliable and viable results and findings.
• A detailed study can be conducted taking into account not only academics but more
variables and overall problems and cause-effects of scholarship.
