Abstract: An attempt has been made to study the student performance of gender categories in two different colleges of Navsari Agricultural University viz, N. M. College of Agriculture (NMCA) and ASPEE College of Horticulture and Forestry (ACHF) and also combination of both the colleges for the period of 2004 to 2015. The analysis has been carried out on the performance of gender category students with the help of the multiple regression models for categorical performance in different colleges of Navsari Agricultural University. All fitted models were tested through ANOVA for their significance. NMCA showed the presence of multicollinearity in male category while it was absent in other models. The VIF value of variable mX₂ of NMCA was greater than 10 due to presence of multicollinearity, so the model was refitted after omitting this variable. The gender wise fitted models of all the colleges showed less variability between the colleges. Out of six fitted models, the model for female category of NMCA which was found best fitted multiple regression model as compared to all other models with R² value, 0.9872 and RMSE value 1.100. The study revealed that the fitted model of female category was better than the fitted model of male category for the all the colleges.
