Primarily a relationship between socio-economic conditions of Scheduled Castes (SCs) and
achievement in higher education have been discussed in available academic literature. This
relationship is complex, multidimensional and varied at different level. The present paper is an attempt
to measures the magnitude of impact of the socio-economic factors on achievement in higher
education among SCs. The study is based on the quantitative analysis of primary data surveyed from
households in three districts of Uttar Pradesh namely, Faizabad, Sonbhadra and Lucknow. Logistic
Regression Analysis (LRA) reveals that sex of students, low level of parental education, lack of
educational resource, workforce participation by student, lack of good mode of transportation to reach
the college and marital status of student are most important educational determinant which, are
eventually responsible for low level of achievement in higher education among SCs.
