<br/><br/> Human ability or attitude to think logically and rationally can be defined as Scientific. This will induce the individual to act scientifically. It allows them to sink and check for relevance in their thinking process which aims for greater innovation. A scientific tempered individual takes the lead in their growth path and directly influence society development. Youth hold the success of Future India; therefore the researcher finds it significantly important to study the scientific temper and academic achievements of management students. Nadeem & Wani has developed the scientific temper scale, a well rated template used by the researcher to collect the primary data. 416 students covering four locations in Karnataka were given structured questionnaire for data collection. The four locations include Bengaluru, Mysuru, Mangalore and Tumkur. The sample comprises of 191 males and 225 female students. Demographic profile of the respondents includes gender, location of the students, education undergone earlier and their academic achievements were analysed. Comparative analysis was conducted to measure the scientific temper attributes consists of curiosity (the inquisitiveness or desire), open-mindedness (how receptive to listen new ideas), objectivity (understanding truth but not subjective), rationality (act by logic) and aversion to superstitions (not believing luck). The researchers have also tested the relationship between academic achievements and gender (male & female students). The result shows that there is a relationship between scientific temper and academic achievements among male and female students. The authors have also tested the relationship between academic achievement and scientific temper among students studied in government schools and private schools.- Reproduced <br/><br/>https://www.istd.in/files/journals/IJTD-2022-April-June.pdf <br/>
