 ABSTRACT

A study was undertaken to estimate the predicting the probability of good academic performance of B.V.Sc. & A.H. students of Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (TANUVAS) based on the students various factors towards study. Stratified random sampling procedure was adopted to select 280 students. Primary data were collected through personal interview using structured pre-tested interview schedules. The binary logistic regression function model was fitted to predict the probability of good academic performance of sample students. The students’ academic performance was measured using variable GPA/CGPA categorized into two ―poor (CGPA between 5.00 and 6.99) and good (CGPA between 7.00 and 10.00). Wald statistic obtained for the independent variables indicated that the coefficients for the variables viz., community, higher secondary marks, educational stream, school management, school location, parental involvement in studies, having personal textbooks, interest in higher studies showed significantly better performance. The board of school education also proved to be a highly significant variable. The period of data collection was from March 2016 to April 2016.

Key words: Academic performance, B.V.Sc. & A.H. students, Binary logistic regression.
