Abstract
In the current competitive environment where students are expected to perform multi roles with efficiency and effectiveness,
it is highly needed to develop their right attitude and emotional intelligence towards the unseen complexities of life and
quality education. As emotional intelligence is a subset of social intelligence with the ability to understand and monitor ones
own feelings and others too which allows a student to mine the required data for his academic achievement which is an
outcome of education and the extent at which the educational goal has been achieved. The emphasis of this paper was to
determine the factors which are affecting the development of emotional intelligence and its role in academic achievement for
students. In this research secondary data has been collected out of which we find out the correlation between emotional
intelligence and academic achievement and teaching emotional and social skills at school not only positively influence
academic achievement during the year when these were taught but also leaves the impact in long term achievement.
Findings of this paper present that academic achievement without emotional intelligence does not indicate future success and
absence of emotional intelligence also indicate the week personality and ability to build relations at working place as well in
schools and it is highly important for quality education.
Keywords: Academic achievement, emotional intelligence, social intelligence, quality education.
Introduction
In current system of education in India as well in globe is
putting the future of children in a race where everyone would be
searching for a short cut for success in his life. But then we
would be in the struggle of dissemination of sweetness and light
to develop his personality with an apt balance of emotional
intelligence and competence. The student plays no active role in
the attainment of knowledge. His entire education is passive and
mechanical. Things are loaded on his mind which he cannot
digest; he only crams and therefore they never become his own,
which at the end puts him in the struggle for his academic
achievement.
To bring the pupils in certainty of successful academic
achievement it is highly important to develop their personality
with emotional intelligence including stress handling instinct. It
would not only make them competent but also able to analyze
the reasons of failure. Being intelligent is usually associated
with being high on academic and intellectual abilities and being
emotionally intelligent is not only an issue of upbringing Years
ago, when the first attempts were made to measure intelligence,
it indeed took shape and began to be seen as synonymous with
academic abilities. Later, when psychologists further explored
the concept, it evolved into many other domains.
Present education world is making all efforts to provide quality
education for the students in todays school. For that we can
teach and improve some crucial emotional competencies among
children such as emotional intelligence, intelligence quotient

Suggestions
As emotional intelligence is not only a part of student life or on
the world of education it is also becoming a significant factor of
ones recruitment in corporate life and in social life too, which
is beyond his academic achievement. The corporate world is
recruiting leaders who display EI. The practice of reflective
thinking is a powerful tool in bringing about understanding,
competency and mastery into ones life. It is suggested to
education world that mentors should now focus on the factors
revealed in the study to develop highly emotionally intelligent
youth to with such competencies where the academic
achievement and social intelligence can be achieved and applied
as well at the most. Emotional Intelligence is not, in itself,
sufficient to create optimal outcomes for youth. However, the
way emotional intelligence is used, both by youth and those
who support them has a powerful effect on the childrens lives.
Conclusion
As emotion is an important aspect of ones life and its
disturbance creates fears, worries, anxieties, annoyance, anger,
resentment and irritability and makes it hard to achieve the
desired goal. Mostly the academic achievement is less what they
are expected to achieve. These negative feelings must be
replaced by feelings of hope, courage and willing cooperation so
that they can excel more. The present study reveals the factors
Emotional Literacy, Academic understanding, Affective
Domain Building, Self Assessment, Pressure Handling, Parental
Guidance, Performance Evaluation, Academic Motivation
which if emphasized may help the mentors, parents and
academicians to motivate the children for the understanding of
emotions in their lives. As we are educating not only the
academic portion of the child, but also the affective (emotional)
portion of the child is what it's all about. Thats the whole
child20.
