Hijazi and Naqvi [7] conducted as study on the student
performance by selecting a sample of 300 students (225 males,
75 females) from a group of colleges affiliated to Punjab
university of Pakistan. The hypothesis that was stated as
"Student's attitude towards attendance in class, hours spent in
study on daily basis after college, students' family income,
students' mother's age and mother's education are significantly
related with student performance" was framed. By means of
simple linear regression analysis, it was found that the factors
like mother’s education and student’s family income were
highly correlated with the student academic performance.
