Abstract: It is a general perception that there are some personal characteristics, learning habits, previous academic background and college environmental factors which affect performance of the students at university level. These factors are directly or indirectly correlated with the students’ performance. There are so many opinions about the impact of these factors. Some academicians think that personal characteristics, learning habits are more important whereas others argue that previous academic background and college environmental factors are more related with the students’ performance. But there is substantial evidence that the views expressed by different stakeholders are not always consistent. Numbers of papers have been illustrated on the related topic and different multi-variable models have been developed to predict students’ performance. This review article presents the results of some empirical investigations and illustrations of researches in the past. A new approach for tabulation of review papers is presented here which will ease and help the future researchers in their work.
