Values Of Graduate Students in Relation to Their Academic Discipline

The present paper has been planned to study the values in graduate students in various disciplines and to find out the relationship, if any, between the values and the subjects (disciplines) studied by them. The study has been conducted on the graduate students of Aligarh Muslim University falling under three different streams, viz, commerce, science and arts. It has been concluded from the present study that aesthetic values are the lowest of all the values in graduate level students and economic values are the next lowest. Contrary to this, religious value occupies the highest place in all the groups of students. Secondly, the graduate level students who offered different streams were found to have developed different value profiles. Their subjects affected their value system to give a different shape to their personality. It has become obvious from the present study that the subjects studied by students have a direct bearing on their value profile. Our system of education, therefore should lay more emphasis on the subjects which help inculcating the desirable values in the students who are supposed to be the future citizens of our country.
