The number of male and female students was in the ratio of 65:35. A willing participation of the students in the study was sought. Consciousness Quotient Inventory by Brazdau (2008) was used to assess consciousness quotient of the university students at two different educational levels (i.e. graduation and post-graduation). To measure the academic achievement of the students, students' scores of internal and external assessment at the university were considered. Pearson's Product Moment Correlation was used to find out correlation between the scores of Academic achievement and consciousness quotient. Results indicated a significant positive correlation between academic achievement and Consciousness of the students at the two educational levels at the university. Moreover, results indicated the rise in consciousness level with the rise in the educational level at the University.

This study investigates into the academic achievement of university students as determined by their communication skills. The differences in groups were measured on the basis of gender, locality, semester and program of the study. The researchers developed their research instrument by adapting from the two questionnaires. One was the research instrument used at the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario (n.d.); and the other was the “Questionnaire-Verbal Communication” (Pierrete Desrosiers, n.d.). Taking Sargodha district as the population, conveniently sampled 160 students from the University of Sargodha were surveyed through the questionnaire. The study was quantitative in nature. The findings of the study concluded that students’ communication skills yielded statistically no effect on their academic achievement. Also, the students at all levels (semesters) and in all programs were reported to have comparably equivalent level of communication skills. This is a unique study of insignificant differences at all levels and programmes; and statistically no interpretable effect of the communication skills of the students from University of Sargodha, on their academic achievement.

This study was undertaken to examine the relationship between “personality fitness” and academic achievement. 175 subjects from three educational levels, university, vocational technical institute, and high school, were administered the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, the Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices, and an Information Questionnaire. The personality dimension of introversion had the highest correlation with academic performance for the university sample, especially for the students in the “hard sciences.” Raven's intelligence score was the best predictor for the? vocational technical institute sample. Personality dimensions of neuroticism and psychoticism, as well as average number of study hours, added differently to the multiple regression equations for the various samples.
