The study is to measure the academic goal orientation of undergraduate Students of College of Home Science, Hyderabad. The purposive sampling method was used for selection of the sample. A Questionnaire developed by Was (2006) was used to measure the goal orientation among students to identify four types of goal orientations viz., Mastery orientation, Performance approach goal orientation, Performance avoidant goal orientation and Work avoidance goal orientation.Results showed that among four types of goal orientations in UG students, the majority rated themselves high in the work avoidant orientation (58.64%) followed by performance avoidant goal orientation (47.5%). It was also found that fourth year students' mastery orientation levels were high when compared to first, second and third year students. They were fixed more on attaining mastery of their skills and capabilities than performance approach orientation.
