The present study reports about the self concept among teacher trainees in Mysore City. A total of 900 (510 female + 390 male) student teachers of I year and II year D.Ed institutions which are Government, Government-Aided and Private Institutions were randomly selected for the study with their residential backgrounds and age group. They were administered “The Way I Feel About Myself” scale designed by Piers and Harris (1969) where the questionnaire was modified and translated to Kannada by the Investigator. The results revealed that female teacher trainees show a high difference in self concept than male teacher trainees. Teacher trainees who have come from urban background indicate a higher score when compared to the rural teacher trainees. Age wise, significant difference was observed among the teacher trainees. There is no much significant difference among Government, Government-Aided and Private Institutions.
