In born talent, good teachers and some of the best institutions help in augmenting the academic score and performance of students. But, out of all the prerequisites, motivation is one of the most important attributes for the students to be successful. Several studies have been done for identifying the influence motivation has on the academic performance of students. These studies measure the intrinsic as well as extrinsic motivation of students. It has been found intrinsic as well as extrinsic motivation both have a very positive effect on the academic well-being of the students. The academic performance may amplify anywhere between 23% to 34% because of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. It has also been seen that almost all the motivational components have a huge impact on the academic performance of students. Further, academic factors as well as gender as a separate factor, are known to be directly affected by these motivational factors. A sample of 180 respondents in which 60.56% “male” and 39.44% “female” has been considered by a “standard questionnaire” created on five-point interval scale.
