      <Abstract>: The present study aims to evaluate auditory sensory process in the brainstem, thalamocortical and cortical areas by using auditory evoked potentials [auditory brainstem responses (ABR), mid latency response (MLR) and long latency response (LLR)]. Thirty MBBS Phase-I students between 17-21 years of age with poor academic performance (scoring less than 35% marks in their 1st and 2nd internal examinations) were taken as study group. Among these 30 students, 16 students were females and 14 were males. Thirty age and sex matched students with greater than 50% marks in the same examinations were taken as the control group. There was significant increase in latency of waves II, III, IV, V and in the interpeak latencies I-III and III-V of ABR in males of the study group. There was no significant difference in all the component waves of MLR and LLR. We conclude, the conduction of impulses is slower in pontine and midbrain auditory pathway along with insufficient cortical processing of task relevant stimuli in male students having poor academic performance. This can be used in the evaluation of cognitive function of medical students with poor academic performance.</Abstract>
