Abstract Emotional Intelligence (EI), also known as Emotional Quotient (EQ), refers to the ability to understand, identify, interpret, perceive, understand and manage one’s own and other people’s emotions. The ability to express and manage emotions is important. Some experts believe emotional intelligence is more important than intelligent quotient (IQ) for success in life. The present study was carried out through the descriptive survey method by administering Emotional Intelligence Scale developed by Daniel Goleman (1995) on a random sample of 530 School-going adolescent students of age group 14 to 18 years from Govt-sponsored secondary schools in Paschim Medinipur district of West Bengal. The results of the study indicate that the school going adolescents are emotionally strong; and there was significant gender difference found, but females were excelled their male counterparts. So, it might be concluded that, the school going adolescents do not hurry for reaction, having self-awareness, good empathy, ready to accept criticism and responsibility, good communication skill, and able to solve problems.
