Experiential learning often yield good results and help to improve the teaching learning process. There is dire need to use such type of learning at higher level so that whatever students learn remains fixed in their mind for longer time. Teacher must provide opportunity to students to learn by doing. The major purpose of this research has been to analyze the main tribulations teacher faced during execution of experiential learning in actual classroom. The study was conducted in Ranbir Singh Pura Tehsil of Jammu District. The study was qualitative in nature. The sample comprised of 50 teachers of higher education institutions. Interview schedule was prepared to collect the data and percentage was used to analyze the data. It has been found that experiential learning is useful to make teaching learning process more effective but teachers faced problems to implement experience based learning in the classroom due to overloaded curriculum, lack of knowledge of new skills, more emphasized on theoretical work, lack of budget, limited class time, limited access to resources and like that. It has been suggested by the investigator to modify the curriculum and equal weightage should be given to both theoretical and practical courses. Teachers (both pre- service and in -service) must provide new skills, practical work and the way to conduct experiential learning in an interesting and effective way.
