As in Table 1 median scores have been figured out by equally weighting
the mean scores of all the items. The median score of V1 is 2.88 indicating
that it is perceived to be moderately important among probation students.
The median value of V2 is 3.42, which implies that communication is a limiting factor to fall into probation. Median score of V3 is 3.83 and the
students asserted that weak education background is not so important to
fall into probation. The median value of V4, 2.85, implies that the existing
grading system is being perceived as difficult to get along with. The median
values of V5 and V6 are 3.71 and 3.24, respectively, which indicate that
students are being engaged in other activities rather than concentrating on
study. In contrast, while selecting courses during the semester, students get
confused not to choose a suitable course outright. The median values of V7
and V8 are 2.94 and 3.55, respectively, which denote lack of seriousness to
carry on study. On the other hand, family problem is not identified as a severe
determinant causing students to fall into probation. The median value
of V9 is 3.53, which implies that personal problem is not a barrier in contrast
to other determinants.
