To determine the relationship between scores obtained by students in assessments considered as admission criteria (cognitive and non-cognitive) with their academic performance in medical college. ⋯ It is concluded that the tools used for admission criteria should include both cognitive and non-cognitive elements. MDCAT is a good predictor of academic performance in pre-clinical years however it can only predict performance in clinical years when combined with MMI since MMI assesses the non-cognitive attributes (communication, empathy, ethics etc.) required in those years. FSC should not be given weightage as admission criteria owing to a lot of variability in the exams and scoring of different academic boards of the country.
