Sex, Communication skills, Guidance, Proximity of student to school, Learning facilities, Pear group, Lack of learning materials and Family stress of students are inspected to the components that seem to contribute to student’s execution. Ordinal Logistic Regression (proportional odds model) is utilized to model the information and the output reveal that sex, communication, proximity to school, Peer group, Learning Facilities of understudies isn’t a determinant component of final grade that students may accomplished at graduation. This research finds that there is equal chance for both male and female students to graduate from university with best class of degree, hence.
