This study aims at conducting an analysis of the errors committed by the students of graduation in English and knowing their study needs. The sample of data, comprising of 50 answer books of the final term examination, was obtained from a small public sector university in the central Punjab (Pakistan). Findings of the study show that the students of such a higher level of studies still commit errors in their writing. It has been observed that the students commit 3 types of errors in their writing i.e. inter-lingual, intra-lingual and developmental errors with different frequency and percentage ratio. Total number of errors found was 1015. Out of which the frequency of inter-lingual, intra-lingual and developmental errors was 21, 34 and 45 percent respectively. In this way, inter-lingual and developmental errors were found to be minimum and maximum in percentage respectively. The study states various reasons in detail and suggests practicable remedies for these errors.
