Emotional Intelligence (EI) is considered as a successful predictor of academic achievement. Researchers have claimed that EI predicts success in schools/colleges/universities. The present study is an attempt in this direction. Three hundred Post-graduate girl Psychology students, studying at Indian Institute of Psychological Research, Bangalore, constituted as a sample for the present study. The students were administered with Emotional Intelligence Scale to measure their EI. EI score were compared with final semester examination marks. EI in its five domains such as Self-recognition, Self-regulation, Self-motivation, Empathy and Handling relations was positively associated with academic achievement. Over all EI score showed that 23% of the students were emotionally intelligent and excellent on academic achievement. Students, who were high on EI, were academically excellent. Results clearly indicated that there is a significant difference (P > 0.0001) existing between the EI and academic achievement among college students. EI played a major role in promoting academic achievement among college students. Also, the study has brought out the fact that the emotional well being could be emphasized on academic achievement

Emotional Intelligence (EI), defined as the “capacity to process emotional information accurately and efficiently” (Mayer & Salovey, 1995), has recently become one of the most discussed issues in different fields. There has been a great deal of discussion both for and against its potential role in education. In fact, it is argued that there is a significant relationship between EI and success in various aspects of life, including life satisfaction, mental health, self-efficacy, psychological well-being, occupational success, and academic achievement. However, there is a gap with regard to EI and its potential role and application in various fields and contexts. The intention of this paper is to stimulate debate and encourage further research about EI through discussing its definitions, constituents, theoretical framework, measurements, and the criticisms leveled against its alleged unfulfilled promise. Furthermore, we elaborate thoroughly on the directions for future research in this field of study.
