Abstract	Attitudinal and Behavioural Commitment can have high impact on achievement of academic goals; it must be present in supervisors and the students. In this study, an experiential learning research was conducted to find the nurturing of Open Source Understanding (OSU) through the preconditioned nature of Close Source Understanding (CSU) that enables to enhance the students' level of commitment. Qualitative method was applied through open interview structured questions at two levels prior to the completion and post completion of report writings. Respondents were ten students and constant supervisions were carried out. Crystallization and triangulation analysis method were performed to analyse and interpret the data and giving meaning to it. Theoretical construction were designed with commitment theories and reflections of personality and styles/approaches were verified to arrive at this experiential learning study conducted at the St. Xavier's College, with Bachelor's Degree students. The findings suggest that commitment level changes are like the personality that changes in any adult. The results suggest that commitment can be nurtured but have the attributes of personality and styles. Among these two commitment OSU and CSU in students, CSU is grounded in behavioural attributes and directly connected to personality and has high flexibility stretch, whereas OSU is a mind-setting attribute which is time-bound and can be nurtured and can remain consistent. This creates a vibration between their attitudinal and behavioural commitments, which is the pivotal to enhance the Collision of Acceptance (CoA). Alike psychological paradigm, the personality can also have an immense impact on shaping their commitment level, which can be understood by the "Collision of Ignorance" ("CoI") stage. (As Provided).
