In the recent decade, Emotional Intelligence (EI) has evolved as a subject matter of study in academia and management in particular. It is widely regarded as an accurate determinant of scholastic accomplishments. EI has proven record of being a predictor of success in schools and colleges/universities. There is ample evidence in literature that, emotional intelligence accurately influences work success and management ability. Depending upon these considerations, this research paper seeks to determine the influence of emotional intelligence on scholastic success of university learners. Since the involvement of emotional intelligence (EI) in educational prowess needs more investigation, the objective of this research is to see if there is any link encompassing all four dimensions of EI (wellbeing, sociability, self control and emotionality) and academic performance among university students. In this study, 107 participants were randomly chosen from among students enrolled in a variety of Bachelor and Masterlevel professional programmes at the Chauras Campus of Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University (H.N.B.G.U.) in Srinagar Garhwal, Uttarakhand, and the Maya group of colleges in Selaqui Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. Participants completed a 30-item questionnaire known as the Trait Emotional In four domains—well-being, self-control, sociability, and emotionality—this survey measures emotional intelligence (EI). In our study, there was a lack of association between academic success and emotional intelligence, which includes well being, self-control, sociability, and emotionality.
