Abstract: The present study was conducted to identify the value dimensions of undergraduate students of technical courses in relation to their sex and parental occupation. Standardized scale measuring values in six dimensions namely Theoretical, Economic, Political, Aesthetic, Social and Religious was administered on 107 male and 35 female sample students selected at random. For measuring parental occupation a self structured questionnaire was employed. The collected data were then analyzed through using ‘Mean’, ‘sd’,‘t-test’ and ‘Pearson’s Correlation’ technique. The findings revealed existence of significant sex difference with regard to aesthetic value where female group outscored the male group. Moreover, parental occupation is found to have significant correlation (positive) with economic value dimension of male undergraduate students of technical courses. The study further revealed significance of difference in the relationship of parental occupation and economic value between male and female undergraduate students of technical courses. Thus, the present findings may help the parents and educational policy makers in developing strategies to inculcate right values among the youths.
