Effectiveness of Bridge Courses in Enhancing Academic Preparedness: a Comparative Study of Migrant Students in Indian Higher Education- Pune

Author(s) Dr. Naziya Riyaz Maldar
Country India
Abstract This study evaluates the impact of bridge courses on migrant students in the city of Pu-ne. Pune attracts thousands of learners from rural Maharashtra and diverse Indian states every single year. These migrant students often face significant gaps in their foundational knowledge during the first semester. This research follows an experimental design with a sample size of exactly 89 student participants. The data was collected through pre-test and post-test scores us-ing a structured academic scale. Statistical analysis was performed using paired sample t-tests and linear regression models for the group. The findings indicate a substantial improvement in the academic preparedness levels of the students involved. The bridge course served as a vital intervention for aligning student skills with university standards. It is observed that the the stu-dents who attended regular sessions achieved better learning outcomes. The study suggests that every college in Pune should implement these courses for new migrants. This paper contributes to the understanding of inclusive education within major Indian academic hubs today. The re-sults are helpful for university administrators to design better support systems for all learners. This research provides a data-driven approach to student retention in the higher education sec-tor.
