- Abstract
Impact of socio-economic factors (SEFs) on the academic performance of students has always been a matter of debate. Some studies have argued that students from low socio-economic background lagged behind those from well-to-do families. However, there are also others which rule out this notion. Therefore, this article analyses the impact of parental SEFs on the performance of students in IIT-JEE, which is considered to be one of the most difficult examinations for engineering admission in India. However, there are some limitations of the study due to paucity of time-series data on the relevant attributes.
