  • Abstract:
  • An examination is a method used to assess a student's capabilities or accomplishments within any academic field.The prevailing belief suggests that various elements such as personal traits, study methods and college environment contribute to students' performance at the University level. These factors are believed to have a direct or indirect connection with academic success. The study involved the survey of 112 students, with 63 from the Faculty of Computer Application, 28 from the Faculty Pharmacy and 21 from Faculty of Paramedical Sciences at Bhagwant Global University, Uttarakhand. The average score was computed to ascertain the practical response of students to each statement. This study aims to recognize the factors affecting student performance in examination at University level. The research relies on primary data and employs a combination of convenient and cluster random sampling techniques for data collection. The analysis of responses utilizes a 4-point Likert scale of measurement. Based on the study's findings, several conclusions were drawn. Inadequate preparation with undefined objectives, short attendance in class, difficult questions in question paper, exam-related stress were identified as the factors affecting exam performance.In light of these findings, several recommendations were proposed to enhance the examination system: (1) Provide students with thorough examination training prior to final exams to mitigate both overconfidence and exam anxiety. (2) Ensure that the internal examination environment is tranquil and conducive to student focus. (3) Maintain a moderate level of difficulty in question papers, avoiding extremes of simplicity or complexity. (4) Accentuate the significance of enhanced vigilance among paper evaluators during the grading process.
