While dealing with students in solving their assignments and projects of software development we have experienced that students are ready to adopt agile process model because it is very close to their nature. It is assumed that certain concepts were already prevalent in student fraternity. The factors considered here are ‘quality of code’, ‘preference of group work’, ‘regular interaction with teammate’, ‘responding to changes’, ‘early testing’, and ‘fast delivery of working software’. Presence of linear relationship, if any, was tested by testing the significance of correlation coefficient r using t-test while non-linearity was tested by testing the significance of correlation ratio (η) using F-test. The overall results show that there is strong non-linear relationship among the factors.
