Abstract Studies show that various socio-cultural statuses are not monolithic blocs; rather they intersect at various levels to create advantages or disadvantages for certain sections of any society. However, there are few studies that show how academic performance is influenced by different socio-cultural statuses of caste, class, and gender. Through a questionnaire survey of students in undergraduate engineering programs in an Indian Institute of Technology, this article explores the factors that impact the academic performance of men and women of different caste categories. The findings indicate that caste appears to be a significant indicator of academic performance although those castes with lowest economic status do not have the lowest performance. Further, gender does not have the same consequences for women and men of different castes. While men of the lowest caste have the lowest performance, it is the women of this caste that are most alienated.

学业成绩中性别和种姓的交叉性:对印度精英工程学院的定量研究

摘要 研究表明,各种社会文化地位并不是单一的集团;相反,它们在各个层面相交,为任何社会的某些部分创造优势或劣势。然而,很少有研究表明不同种姓、阶级和性别的社会文化地位如何影响学业成绩。本文通过对印度理工学院本科工程专业学生的问卷调查,探讨影响不同种姓男性和女性学业成绩的因素。研究结果表明,种姓似乎是学习成绩的重要指标,尽管经济地位最低的种姓并没有最低的成绩。此外,性别对不同种姓的女性和男性的影响并不相同。
