 Limitations

 The sample size of 60 might not represent the

perception of whole population, as the sample
size is too small.
 The opinion expressed by the respondents may
be biased.
 The attitude of the research might be biased.
 One of the most influencing and most critical
limitations is that we are not trained for the
research study. We tried hard to come at
conclusion, but there is lack of expertise
