Self-confidence was measured by Agnihotri's Self-confidence inventory (1987) and academic achievement was determined on the basis of percentage obtained by the students in Xth class annual examination conducted by HBSE, Haryana. The findings indicate that there exists significant difference between the male and female students on academic achievement and self-confidence.
