Marginalisation at various levels is one of the significant challenges that students face in their everyday lives. It is in developing countries, but little is known about their impact on the academic success of the students. The research focused on understanding the impact of marginalisation, parental education, financial strength, occupation, and social‐religious affiliation on students' performance pursuing higher education. After extensive review and to explain the issue, a theoretical framework of various constructs is proposed. The findings indicate a positive relationship between the variables and their influence on student success in higher education. It further confirmed the initial assumption of the study that demographic marginalisation has a significant influence on the education performance of the students pursuing higher studies. Furthermore, it is essential to raise awareness of the social sensitivity of higher education among the various stakeholders and to contribute to a fair and equitable society in terms of accounting.
