Self-concept of an individual plays an important role in their career build. Self-concept's role in a
student's life is undefined. Hence this study conducted to know the level of self-concept of class
IX students. The level of self-concept of sample and sample sub groups vary. Most of the school
students found an above average level of self-concept. Boys had better self concept compared to
the girls. However, there is not a huge difference between these two study groups. The present
research study found that there is no significant difference between the total self concept and
dimensions of self concept of male and female students. However there is a slight difference
among male and female student’s in various dimensions of self-concept. Boys have low
educational self concept as compared to females it could be because females are more satisfied
with their academic work. Girl students have high social and temperamental self concept
compared to boys because females are more conscious about the society and they are a little bit
emotional compared to the boys. Girls have low physical and intellectual self concepts compared
to boy’s girls are less assured about their talent, girls are worried about their physical
appearance. To sum up, the teacher should give more attention to developing a positive self
concept to school students, it may help them to achieve superior goals in their future.
