Relational analysis of the Emotional Intelligence of post-graduating students of agriculture

The present study was conducted to analyze the profile characteristics of post-graduating agricultural students and to examine their relationship with emotional intelligence (EI). A total of 173 students were selected from three agricultural colleges under VNMKV, Parbhani, using proportionate random sampling. The data revealed that the majority of students were from rural, joint families with medium income and academic performance. Emotional intelligence levels were generally medium, and correlation analysis showed that several profile variables, such as academic performance, attitude, communication skills, and achievement motivation, had a positive and significant relationship with EI. The results indicate that students’ background and psychological traits significantly influence their emotional development, which is vital for success in professional agricultural careers.
