INTRODUCTION

School, colleges and universities have no worth

without student. Students are most essential asset for
any educational institute. The social and economic
development of the country is directly linked with
student academic performance. The students
performance (academic achievement) plays an
important role in producing the best quality graduates
who will become great leader and manpower for the
country thus responsible for the countrys economic and
social development (Ali et.al, 2009).
SIGNIFICANCE
This study may be helpful for both colleges policy
makers and parents of the students. It helps the college
administration to design and implement the policies to
improve the students performance and the quality of
education by changing the attitude of students towards
learning, facilitating students and improving the teaching
procedures. Parents can use the outcomes of the study
to solve the students problems especially financial
problems and to look after them. It may also create
awareness among students about their rights and
responsibilities to achieve quality education.
RESEARCH OBJECTIVE

To explore the important factors

that affect the academic
performance of the students.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Will there be a significant difference
between the factors and academic
performance of 3rd year engineering
students?
a.Learning Facilities
b.Proper Guidance
c.Family Stress
STATEMENT OF THE HYPOTHESES

H1: The learning facilities significantly affect

the academic performance 3rd year
engineering students.
H2: The proper guidance significantly affects
the academic performance 3rd year
engineering students.

CONCLUSION

Results revealed that the factors significantly

affect their academic performance. The learning
facilities, proper guidance and family stress are
affecting the academic performance of 3rd year
engineering.
 RECOMMENDATION
The College of Engineering faculty
members must encourage the students to
read books or search in the internet before
coming to class. Seminars on enhancing
the study habits of engineering students
must be done to increase the level of their
academic performance.

Students must also establish group study

during vacant periods to utilize their spare
time to a most productive one. They must
study the lessons regularly and lessen
unecessary activities.
Teachers must always motivate their students to
submit the assignments on time and have the regular
consultation of students who need more assistance
and guidance. They must treat their students equally
even the slow learners and give them proper attention
to develop the appropriate way of study habits and
practices inside and outside the classroom. Teachers
must also explain or discuss clearly all the topics
being discussed and they must consume the complete
hours allotted for the subject.

Parents must keep away their children from watching

television most especially during weekdays to
concentrate from studying and finishing their
assignments. Even though problems will arise
because thats inevitable, they should first look on the
brigther side so that their child will still be motivated
and not be affected.
