Various factors are known to influence examination outcome. The importance of personality and extra-curricular factors in the success of management career cannot be overlooked. This study intended to find out the influence of personality, current health, and lifestyle factors on the examination result of management students. The results implied that the factors that could predict examination grades in management students were the performances in past examinations and current quality of life. There was a probability of a negative influence of dysfunctional personality factors on the outcome of examinations in management training. Creative hobbies had significantly positive influence on examination result. It is suggested that replication studies with larger sample are essential considering the findings of this study which have implication for specific assessment and support for management students.Keywords

There are contrasting reports regarding effect of traditional class based training on the examination scores. There is hardly any report in this area for management training courses. Objective of this study was to find out the relation of attendance in classes and result in examination in management students. The attendance figures in each of six subjects and examination grade points were collected for a batch of management students (n=118). The result suggested that there is significant correlation between attendance in classes and examination scores; higher the attendance, higher was the score. The examination scores were significantly different in students in different quartiles of attendance percentage. Male students had significantly lower attendance and examination scores than the females. In conclusion, higher attendance in classes is related to higher scores in examination in management courses. Efforts to improve attendance appear relevant to improve outcome in examinations.Keywords
