Taking Sargodha district as the population, conveniently sampled 160 students from the University of Sargodha were surveyed through the questionnaire. The study was quantitative in nature. The findings of the study concluded that n students’ CS yielded any effect on their AA. Also, the students at all levels (semesters) and in all programs were reported to have equivalent level of CS.
