The present research study is an attempt to compare Rural and Urban Secondary School Students of District Srinagar on different dimensions of Social Intelligence and Academic Achievement. The sample of 120 students (60 rural & 60 urban) enrolled in 9th and 10th classes was selected randomly from six Secondary Schools of the district, in which 60 were male and 60 female. For the measurement of social intelligence of secondary school students, N.K. Chadda and Usha’s Social Intelligence Scale was used. For Academic Achievement, 8th class results of sample subjects were consulted. The results of the study reveal that both the groups differ significantly on Social Intelligence and Academic Achievement. The study favours Rural Secondary School Students.
