Gap Year: A Break in the Continuum of Education

Abstract

This study aimed to inquire into the feasibility of taking a gap year and estimate the number of people who have or are likely to take a gap year from the Symbiosis Centre for Management Studies, Symbiosis International University, Pune, Maharashtra, India. A survey was formulated containing a particular set of questions devised by us about the concept of a gap year and students’ thoughts regarding the same. A sample population of 50 students was selected on a random basis in a haphazard manner, and their personal details and inputs were taken into consideration and studied upon.
