Abstract

This paper deals with the influence of climatic condition on student productivity. It highlights the impact of temperature on student's performance. Several factors plays important role on student productivity one of it is ‘variation in internal temperature of a class room’. Climatic conditions of India are different to that of its western counterparts. Studies conducted in Indian conditions often points to a host of teaching quality related factors rather than external environmental impact. This study adopts a descriptive approach and uses primary source of data comprising the classes in professional courses, carrying equal weight age. All total 60 samples are taken comprising of students from both climate controlled and non-controlled class rooms, for the test.
