Abstract This study aims to find the influence of the students ’higher secondary marks in mathematics, physics and chemistry (MPC) on their performance in the engineering program. For this purpose, a sample of 173 students, studying in a private engineering college in Puducherry, were considered. Higher secondary MPC marks of students and their corresponding engineering marks were collected from the institution and statistical analyses were done. Chi square test was used to find the association between mathematics, physics and chemistry marks scored by these students and engineering performance. Also multiple regression test was used to analyze the degree of relationship between the three higher secondary subjects MPC and engineering performance. From the results of the statistical analysis logical conclusions were arrived at. Top Keywords higher secondary marks, physics, chemistry, maths, engineering performance, private engineering college.
