Achievement motivation is a person's constant drive to succeed to a certain level of excellence in a competitive environment. This study attempted to investigate the relationship between gender and locality and the impact of achievement motivation on the academic performance of J.B.T students. The achievement motivation is an acquired tendency of the individual which impels action to aspire, strive and achieve in the competition with others, with a standard set by the individuals. The theory of achievement motivation attempts to account for the determinants of the direction, magnitude, and persistence of behaviour in a limited but very important domain of human activities. The sample for study was selected on the basis of random sampling. A sample of 120 senior secondary school students was taken from two education colleges of district Hamirpur Himachal Pradesh on the basis of random sampling technique. The data were collected by using Rao Achievement Motivation test developed by Dr. D. Gopal Rao. The investigator found that there is no significant difference in JBT trainees in relation to gender and locality.
