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.
