The empirical study was conducted in the form of a printed questionnaire, which was sent to 100 students. The questionnaire was randomly given to students to fill them out, the research method was both qualitative and quantitative, date was analysed by using Excel.

The lack of facilities, poor studying environment, lack of communication between the head of department and students, are the major shortcomings in the University. In conclusion there could be room to improve student motivation in the University. The best approach could be to better flow of information from the director to the student association where students can put up there complaints and suggestions on what they are happy and not happy about, building or creation of important facilities e.g. Library, study rooms etc, improving the study environment etc. This motivation methods would increase the students motivation and satisfaction and thus enhance good grades and boost the overall school appearance to the outside world
