contribute to determine the predictors of educational success of working

students. A research work always takes the advantages of the information

and the knowledge that had been accumulated in the past as a result of

constant research endeavor by mankind. According to Koul (2009)

research can never be undertaken in the isolation of the work that has

already been done on the problems related to the study propose by any

researcher. Every researcher reviewed the related literature from the

different resources that includes research journal, articles, books,

magazines, encyclopedias, dissertations, abstracts, international year

books, theses and most important in the present era the internet access.
