Attrition Among Indian Social Science Doctoral Scholars: An Exploration of the Contributing Reasons
Abstract
Doctoral education, while a pinnacle of academic achievement, presents significant challenges. This study explores the factors contributing to attrition among social science doctoral scholars in India, focusing on the resilience and adaptability required to sail through the doctoral journey. Employing semi-structured interviews with former doctoral students, we identified key themes related to academic, personal, and institutional challenges. Our findings highlight the importance of fostering resilience and adaptability in doctoral students and creating culturally responsive support systems within educational institutions. By understanding the factors influencing attrition, we can develop strategies to enhance doctoral student persistence and well-being, thereby contributing to a more inclusive and supportive educational landscape.
