Primary data were collected using an academic self-efficacy scale. The results revealed a significant positive relationship between the student’s academic self-efficacy and academic performance. The results also indicated a significant influence of academic self-efficacy on the academic achievement of students. Further, the results revealed that undergraduate students of the science stream were having high academic self-efficacy were having significantly higher academic performance as compared to others.
