Abstract:
This study investigates the socio-cultural and academic adaptation of international students in the Indian context, employing a convenience sampling method. The research utilizes various statistical tools, including the chi-square test, descriptive analysis, and regression analysis to analyse the collected data. The study tries to find the relationship between sociocultural and academic adaptation among international students and aims to reveal significant results indicative of the challenges and successes in their overall adjustment. The use of convenience sampling ensures a diverse representation of participants, allowing for a comprehensive examination of adaptation experiences. The application of the chisquare test helps in assessing associations between socio-cultural and academic variables. Descriptive analysis and graphical representation aid in understanding and measuring the status and mood of the respondents. The interpretation of findings sheds light on key factors influencing adaptation, contributing valuable insights for academic institutions and support services. The study explores some of the impactful factors, in the adaptation journey, providing a basis for tailored interventions and support mechanisms for international students in the Indian educational landscape.
