Abstract
The study is all about relationship, contribution and prediction among personal values, career aspirations, socioeconomic status, academic achievement and educational choice at senior secondary level. The present investigation is based on a population of class XI students, more specially, the new entrants into different educational streams. The sample consisted of 500 students selected from different senior secondary schools. Out of these 500 students, 250 were female and 250 were male. The “incidental sampling” technique being the most feasible, was used to select the sample. The sample covered a wide geographical area of Uttar Pradesh and Delhi. For the purpose of data collection the investigator used Personal Values Questionnaire (PVQ), Personal data Sheet (PDS) and Occupational Aspiration Scale. Finally, it was found that academic achievement of science students at senior secondary stage was better than the commerce students and arts students and there is a strong positive correlation between academic achievement and socio-economic status which is generally expected.
