Abstract

The study intends to find out the correlation between profile characteristics and career preferences of polytechnic students. A sample of 240 students were selected from three polytechnics viz., Agriculture, Seed technology and Organic farming using simple random sampling procedure. The study was conducted during the year from 2019-2022 in both constituent and affiliated colleges of ANGRAU. The multiple linear regression equation with seventeen selected profile characteristics put together contributed 70.60 percent to the total variance in the attitude of polytechnic students towards diploma programme, the remaining 29.40 percent may be due to the extraneous, and un identified profile characteristics effect.
