摘要：In our society academic achievement is considered as a key criterion to judge one's total potentiality and capability.Academic achievement is seen as a students' grade point averages in many academic settings.Academic achievement has become an index of students' future in this highly competitive world and Agricultural education is no exception.Hence it becomes necessary to find out the factors that determine better academic performance.In this context the present study had been carried out to find out the possible relationship between schooling background and academic achievement of agriculture students.The students admitted in Adhiparasakthi Agricultural College,Kalavai,Vellore between 1999 and 2009 formed the subjects of the study.Findings of the study revealed that determinants like gender,type of school and stream of education had a significant role in the academic achievement of the students.Medium of instruction in HSC did influence the academic achievement but not significantly.It was also found that students who performed well in their HSC did perform well in their undergraduate programme also.This confirms that previous educational outcomes are the most important indicators of student's future achievement and schooling background has a significant role in academic achievement of students.
