The subjects were assigned at random into fifteen each (n=15). Group–I underwent Computer Assisted Instruction group, Group–II underwent Self Instruction Module group, and Group–III acted as Control.  Training: Training period was resisted to three months only on the working days. Variables: The dependent variable selected for this study was Economic Achievement Mean Score. Test: Economic Achievement Mean Score was assessed by Achievement test tool constructed and by the investigator. All the subjects were tested prior to and immediately after the training for all the selected variables. Statistics: Data were collected and statistically analyzed using ANCOVA. Scheffe’s post hoc test was applied to determine the significant difference between the paired means. In all the cases 0.05 level of significance was fixed.   Results: The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference among all the groups namely Computer Assisted Instruction group, Self Instruction Module group and Control group.  Further the results of the study showed that Computer Assisted Instruction group was found to be better than the Self Instruction Module group and Control group in Economics Achievement Mean Score.
