The document discusses a research paper on the difficulties faced by diploma engineering students in Gujarat, India in learning through the English medium. It notes that until 1960, technical education in Gujarat was primarily conducted in the local Gujarati language. It then surveys several diploma colleges in Gujarat where instruction is in Gujarati. A questionaire is presented that asks students about their language background and experiences learning in English. The conclusion is that students from Gujarati medium schools struggle to learn fully in English due to lecturers also lacking confidence in teaching in English. Allowing instruction in both English and Gujarati helps address this issue.

1. RESEARCH PAPER Title:- A Perspective Study of Diploma Engineering Students difficulties in learning through English Medium Name:- Vaishali K. Rajput Name of College:- Kadi Sarva Vishwvidyalya Name of Guide:- Dr. Starpayal N. Iyer

2. INTRODUCTION Gujarat state has been established in the year 1960. From that time the system of English education was not found in Gujarat. People are focusing on there religious language and their was one kind of belief in their mind that we are Hindu, Gujarati,Indian so we have to focus only our traditional language. Technical Education Board was established in 1960 in Ahmedabad.

3. CORE STUDY In Gujarat there are many Diploma colleges in which the medium of instruction is in Gujarati like as under. C.U.Shah Diploma Engineering College. N.M. Gopani Diploma Engineering College. Government Polytechnics. R.H.Patel Diploma Engineering College.etc.

4. QUESTIONER Have you studied English Language as a first language? Are You from English medium school or Gujarati medium school? While taking lecture your lecturer pronouns correctly? What is the medium of instruction in your college? Are your other lecturer able to teach in English?

5. CONCLUSION As I Am working in the Diploma Engineering College I have observed this problem that the students who are from Gujarati medium they are not able to learn throughout in English. This is not because of the students only their lecturers are not enough confident to teach them in English medium. The Technical Educational Board has allowed them to learn in both the language, in this way the lecturer who are poor in English they teach them in Gujarati only.
