From the study it has been observed by the investigator that students who score high on emotional intelligence have good academic achievement as compared to those who score low on these scales. The results of hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that emotional intelligence did not significantly contribute to the social and academic success of these adolescents. There was a significant difference between academic achievement of rural male adolescents in relation to learning environment and emotional intelligence. Results also showed that classroom environment relates positively with academic efficacy.
