The study explores various factors like role of teachers, types of courses, time duration, the medium of learning, group work factors which have significant impact on the satisfaction level of the students. Students of the five dominant public universities of Pakistan were taken as target population to take research samples. Self administered questionnaire was used for data collection. Data was then analyzed by using SPSS software through which authors have taken simple means, standard deviation and frequencies. Research results have shown that semester system is perceived to be most effective way of effectual learning; however the satisfaction level of students can be enhanced by collaborative efforts of teachers and students. Although there are many factors elaborated in current study that can efficiently enhance student’s satisfaction but teachers’ efforts and behavior are the main factors which are directly related to the students’ satisfaction.
