**5. Findings of the study**

Jatiya Kabi Kazi Nazrul Islam University contains many knowledge seekers representing the overall socioeconomic status of Bangladesh. An excellent survey of the students of this university about their current economic and social conditions can help to explain the current state of economic classes, social behaviors, and rural empowerment conditions that may be influenced by sources of income, the level of education, living conditions, academic performance, educational background, and the opportunities provided by this university.

This study analyzed the socioeconomic factors and conditions that affect the students' life. Based on the collected sample, the analysis is divided into the socioeconomic background and other parts, which have been discussed below:
