Relationship between Social Intelligence and Academic Achievement of College Students in Mizoram

Abstract

Humans have been created to live together, to share; not only material things but especially our thoughts and feelings. Social intelligence (SI) now holds a significant place in the life of the students, at the same time many factors are influencing an individual’s academic achievement. Thus, this paper tries to find out the impact of social intelligence on the academic achievement of students studying in different undergraduate courses. The data of this research were obtained through the use of questionnaires that draw out information on the students’ SI level as well as their academic achievement. This paper reflects the relationship of college students’ SI with their academic achievement with regard to the streams of studies they chose. Findings reveal that college students of Mizoram have good SI; however, it does not have a significant impact on the academic achievement of college students. Detailed findings and their implications are explained in this paper.
