Abstract : Self-efficacy may be defined as a person's conviction in their own potential to complete a given activity. Numerous research has established a correlation between self-efficacy and academic success. This study had two main goals: 1) to investigate the amount of English self-efficacy that L2 graduate students possess, and 2) to analyze the differences in English self-efficacy that exist across graduate students of different genders and major topics. The 340 participants in this study were all intermediate students from two universes are located in Rahimyar Khan. The tool for the study was called the Questionnaire of English Self-Efficacy (QESE), and it had 32 questions measured on a Likert scale with five points each. Using mean scores, standard deviation, a t-test, and Welch's analysis of variance on the data allowed for a thorough examination of the information. The results of the study revealed that the degree of English self-efficacy of L2 graduate students was, on average, somewhere in the middle of the range. When it came to proficiency in the English language, the majority of respondents placed themselves at a level of moderate self-efficacy across the board. The First place went to listening self-efficacy, followed by reading self-efficacy, then speaking self-efficacy, and finally writing self-efficacy. In addition, there was no statistically significant difference in terms of gender or main subject when it came to the English self-efficacy of the participants. It is advised that students of languages other than English improve their English self-efficacy to further their language study.
