The sample consists of 150 female engineering students studying in single sex and co-education institutes at RTM Nagpur University, Nagpur. Data were collected by administering self efficacy scale developed by Mathur and Bhatnagar (2012). For academic grade the average of percentage among various semesters were calculated. Mean standard deviation and One Way ANOVA was used to analyze the data.
