The aim of the research is to analyze and compare the factors affecting locus of control of the university students. It is found out that male students have more inner control than female students (t=4.890, p<.001). Students with high income level have more inner control than students with low and middle income level (F=5.171, p<.01). Students staying with their families have more inner control compared to those staying either at dormitories or houses (F=8.175, p<.001). Students with 4 or more siblings have more inner control than students with less number of siblings
