Abstract: The Present study aims to evaluate the State Board of Education (TNSBE) curriculum to what extent it utilizes and evaluates student’s intelligence and working memory in their academic performance. In 2015, a survey conducted by the National Council for Education, Research and Training (NCERT) revealed that performance of students was close to the bottom in every subject. Literature suggests intelligence and working memory are reliable predictors of academic performance. It shows that outcome of training and evaluation to an extent depends on student’s intelligence and working memory. Presently, we conducted a similar study on students who are studying under State Board Education Curriculum. Sixty students were selected randomly from 11th Grade of one private school and one Government aided School in Chennai and assessed with Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices for intelligence, WISC IV India sub-tests for working memory and for academic performance tenth board examination scores were taken. NIMHANS Index for Specific Learning Disability (1992) and Strength and Difficulty Questionnaire (Goodman, 1997) were used to rule out learning disability and emotional problems respectively. Results showed that the Tamil Nadu board of education’s curriculum (Samacheer Kalvi) moderately utilizes and evaluates student’s intelligence in their Academic performance.

Key words: Curriculum; Intelligence; Working Memory; Academic Performance.
