Objectives:

To examine whether there is any influence of the students' economic condition on academic performance and also to test whether there is any relationship between students' parental residence and their academic performance.

Methodology:

Banladesh Agricultural University (BAU) has six faculties offering Bachelor's degree and thirty five Master's degrees. For Bachelor's degree one has to cover four years courses and one year course for Master's degree. Two years course is there for Master's degree programme in Agricultural Statistics only after passing Bachelor's degree having at least one course in statistics from any ot the faculties (except DVM. ) in B. A. U. Students with Higher Secondary Certificate (H.S.C.) with Science group and securing more than 50% marks can seek admission in first year Bachelor's degree in six different faculties. Riqorous admission test is taken to select high standard students. In every year one student has to pass his yearly examinations to sit in the next hiqher class. Then one has to appear four final examinations to obtain Bachelor's degree. Marks obtained in these four years are added and thus the final result is declared in Bachelor's degree. In this study, from each class of six different faculties, students were selected at random by their roll numbers in different class periods. 15% of the students were interviewed with a questionnaire. Some of the randomly selected students were absent in the class and at the time of scrutiny, some of the students were observed to give ambiguous information. We discarded all these questionnaires and finally 12.69 % (325 students out of 2562 in 1984) students were taken into consideration for the purpose of analysing the proposition that there is no relationship between the per-capita income of the students which we termed as students income and their academic performance.
