 RESEARCH GAP
Though many research works have been carried out on Emotional Intelligence
throughout the world and even in India , but there is hardly any research work
carried out in the state of Tripura, India in spite of being one of the culturally
diverse states of the North-East India and different from the other parts of the
world and even from India. So, the researcher thought of choosing the current
topic which is of high importance especially for the Students and has its
practical implications.

Where, n=Sample Size

N= Population Size
e= Margin of Error.
 SCOPE FOR FUTURE RESEARCH
 Further research should be conducted dealing with the importance of incorporating emotional

Age, Gender and their relationship with emotional intelligence

RELEVANCE
1. Students with higher levels of emotional intelligence are perceived to better manage
themselves and others around them.
2. This can help them develop self-motivation and undergo effective communication skill. In
order the understand the emotion, it is very important to first identify it which has become
difficult in the present busy and spontaneous world.
3. The earlier study has been conducted outside northeast and there is hardly any study in the
state of Tripura of North-East India.
4. The outcome anticipated for the research is that there is a strong relationship between EI and
educational level. It is also proposed that the students of PG group have higher EI than that of
UG group.
