Abstract
Bangladesh Islami University (BIU) plays a significant role in disseminating education in Bangladesh. Every year, many students get admitted here. However, many students can not complete their graduation and post-graduation levels. This study focuses on mapping out the factors that work behind the students' dropping out at Bangladesh Islami University. A dropout sample survey has been developed to determine the factors influencing students' attrition from university programs. This study explores using 51 students' (dropout and regular) data and logistic regression, the number of married students, households head's profession, transport dissatisfaction, current staff attitude, overall campus environment, poor academic record at SSC and HSC level and excess academic pressure have a positive impact on dropout at higher study levels. Besides, this study investigates that working students, number of family members, campus security, infrastructure, quality food facility, tuition fee waiver, and easy answer script evaluation reduce the dropout rate at higher study levels. Finally, this research concluded with some recommendations that help the university authority and education policy makers to resolve the dropout rate at tertiary level study in Bangladesh.
