The aim of the study was to develop an indigenous scale on the phenomenon of perceived favouritism among university students. A list of 98 items was compiled after reaching saturation level by interviewing 25 university students of BS, individually. Then redundant items were excluded and 39 items were retained. For empirical validation, five experts were approached and after empirical validation, a scale of 38 items was prepared. The pilot study was conducted on 25 university students of BS and revealed that the participants did not face any major problem about comprehension of the scale. Then the scale was administered to the sample of 200 university students for establishing psychometric properties. Results of the scale factor analysis showed significant KMO value and Bartlett’s test of sphericity was significant and indicated correlation between the items. Three factors were retained through principle component analysis varimax rotation and labelled as Preference, Extra Involvement, and Discrimination. The concurrent validity of Indigenous Perceived Favouritism Scale with What Is Happening In The Class Scale (Chionh & Fisher, 1998) was found to be significant. Indigenous Perceived Favouritism Scale is, thus, dependable and valid scale for measuring perceived favouritism among university students.
