Abstract

This study was conducted on the final year students of agriculture in Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. The objective of the study was to observe that which of the students (either of rural or urban backgrounds) perform better in agriculture during their degree programme. Both of the programme (6 year and 4 year programme) students were included in the population and their total number was 94. The study reveals that urban students performed academically better than rural students but general thinking is that rural students should perform better in agriculture.
