The conceptual framework could be developed by further drawing from a
deeper pool of relevant literature to make it more convincing. One of the
shortcomings of this study is the use of a convenient sample size of 242,
which might not allow the study to be authentic, but the result will be close
to the actual result. The statistical techniques used in this study were not
highly rigorous. The study is also limited to two private university students
in Bangladesh to allow a more homogeneous sample. The readers should
take these potential limitations into account when interpreting the findings.
It is suggested that several promising avenues for further research will enable
researchers to gain a better understanding of the reasons behind students'
falling into academic probation and develop ways to improve their
academic results in the universities. Academic difficulties among public university
students should be the subject of further studies. Moreover a similar
research on academic probation would emphasize a greater impact on the
key issues. Since it is an alarming issue for the students, it needs to be
addressed immediately and given utmost importance.
