Abstract	The research aimed to standardize Beena Shah’s Self-Concept Inventory (SCI) to better align with the cultural nuances of Bengali students. The study incorporated 576 adolescents aged 14 to 16 from 9th and 10th grades in South 24 Parganas. The validity of each item in the Bengali adaptation of the SCI was confirmed through item analysis. Construct validity was evaluated using subscales-total correlation for convergent validity and inter-subscales correlation for discriminant validity. The reliability of the scale was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha and split-half reliability coefficients, both of which showed high values of 0.918 and 0.917, respectively. The findings indicated that the adapted Bengali version of Beena Shah’s Self-Concept Inventory is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing self-concept in Bengali adolescents and adults.
