In: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND RESEARCHSummary: A critical question is whether selection criteria for formal entry into professional courses have the power to prognosticate their later academic performance. This study examined the predictive validity of College Entrance Exam marks (CEEM) and Graduate marks (GM) vis-a-vis the academic performance during the Post Graduate Program (PGP). It covers a sample of 322 students who entered PGP in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) at a national institute in India between the years 2012-2018.Inter-correlations indicated thatCEEM (29 %) are the less correlated and predictive of PGP academic performance than GM (56 %). The lower Predictive Validity (PV) of CEEM is probably attributable to non-cognitive factors involved in their later academic performance. Policy implications and further research are highlighted.
