Abstract
Home Sciences is an exclusive, professional as well as skill-based subject. In actuality, people are not
considering its valuable because of its perception of being joined to home activities. The research
determines student, teacher and mother related factors influencing the student to adopt Home Sciences as
a subject at undergraduate level. This study is quantitative, in which the data is collected by making three
different questionnaires. The first one is filled by the students of Home Sciences at undergraduate level,
the second is filled by the teachers who teach undergraduate level and the third questionnaire is filled by
the mothers who had studied this subject at any level in their educational career and they have decided to
have their girls enrolled in this subject. The analysis is concluded on the percentages which determine the
deficits and ideasstated by the three types of respondents. Data results indicate that lack of facilities,
finance problems, un-trained teaching staff and a very extensive syllabus make students unwilling to
choose this subject even though they know its career opportunities. Teachers do not consider it the most
useful subject at undergraduate level but consider it helpful for girls at home. Mothers are agreeable to
having more creative teachers for this subject to teach their girls so it can be more useful for them in order
to deal with everyday problems.
