Abstract

A significant number of Indian students take The Common Admission Test for admission into management programs in premier institutions like the IIMs which is highly stressful. Researchers state that non-cognitive factors like Grit, Self-Regulation enhance academic performance. This study aims to examine the relationship between the variables Grit, Self-Regulation, and Academic Achievement.  Grit, Self-Regulation were assumed to predict Academic Achievement. Purposive sampling technique was employed to collect data from 402 students aged between 22 to 27 years, who had taken the CAT. The Grit Scale and The Self-Regulation Questionnaire were employed to measure the variables. The percentile ranks obtained on the CAT entrance were taken as a measure of Academic Achievement. Data was analysed using SPSS 28. Multiple Regression revealed Grit and Self-Regulation as two significant predictors of Academic Achievement. Implementing, planning and assessing dimensions of Self-Regulation, Passion and Perseverance dimensions of Grit were significant predictors of Academic Achievement.  As Grit and Self-Regulation contribute to Academic Achievement, training children in school, will help them develop these skills for enhancing their performance. The results provide significant implications for psychologists, teachers, parents, researchers.
