Jadab Dutta, Dr. Pranab Chetia, J. C. Soni
Abstract: The present study investigated the Academic Achievement, Emotional Maturity and Intelligence of Secondary School Students in Assam. The study was conducted on one thousand class-X students by giving due representation to boys (500) and girls (500) as well as rural and urban localities of Lakhimpur and Sonitpur districts of Assam. The schools were selected using stratified random sampling technique, and students were selected using simple random sampling technique. The descriptive survey method is used for data collection. As far as academic achievement of the students was concerned for the purpose of the present study, the investigator visited the selected schools and collected the school records of the selected students i. e. marks obtained by the students in the last annual examination, 2014 (i. e. Class IX annual examination). The emotional maturity of the students was measured by using Emotional Maturity Scale (EMS) developed by Singh and Bhargava (1984) and intelligence was measured by using the group test of mental ability constructed and standardized by Dr. S. Jalota. The findings of the study reported that there exists a statistically highly significant difference between male/female and government/ private secondary school students with respect to their emotional maturity. Whereas, students coming from rural or urban background did not show any difference in case of emotional maturity for students of both the districts separately as well as taken together and There is no significant mean difference between male/female students and rural/urban areas students, whereas government and private school students differ significantly on intelligence.
