A total sample of 800higher secondary Plus One students (400boys and 400 girls) were randomly selected for the study. Normative survey method was employed for data collection. The Mathematics Self-efficacy Scale was adapted from S. L. Tait-McCutcheon (2008) and modified by the investigator to suit the Indian Context and to the level of selected samples of this study. Three research questions were framed to guide this study. Results revealed that there is a significant relationship between Mathematics Self-efficacy and achievement in Mathematics. Also, there is a significant difference between boys and girls in Mathematics self-efficacy and achievement in Mathematics where girls excelled boys. Findings showed that Government Aided school students were high in Mathematics self-efficacy and achievement in Mathematics when compared to Government school students.
