topic of student engagement has captured much research attention lately.
However, there still remains a paucity of empirical work on the construct in Indian
context. Therefore, the current investigation seeks to identify the precursors
or antecedents of student engagement in Indian institutes. Sample of the
current study comprised of 717 respondents from University students. Results indicate that
Student engagement is a function of certain situational factors such as
academic facilities, faculty, role of administration as well as some personality
factors viz. locus of control and self-efficacy.
