The present research is aimed to explore the achievement orientation in relation self-concept of college students of Punjab. A sample of 900 final year undergraduate college students were selected from six districts of Punjab using stratified random sampling method. Data was collected using an adapted version of Goal Orientation Scale by Christopher Was, SCRS by Pratibha. Descriptive method was used in the present study. A significant difference was found in mastery approach, performance approach, performance avoidant approach and work avoidant approach among college students in relation to their gender and stream of study. Further, two-way ANOVA results varied across the different levels under the study. Moving further, mastery approach and performance approach were positively correlated with self-concept, while performance avoidant approach and work avoidant approach were negatively correlated with self-concept. The study has also highlighted a few brief practical implications and suggestions for future research.
