The study was conducted to measure the self-concept among adolescents in context to gender, location of area (rural & urban) and types of schools (Government & Private). A sample of 400 students of 9th and 10th classes were selected randomly; out of which 200 were male addresses (100 rural & 100 urban) and 200 female adolescents (again 100 rural & 100 urban) studying in government and private schools. Self-concept inventory standardized by Raj Kumar Saraswat was administered to subjects to measure their self-concept. The results show that males were having better self-concept than females. There were no differences between rural and urban as well as government and private school adolescents on self-concept.
