Abstract

The study investigates the level of social intelligence and social adjustment among entry-level college students in Jorhat District, Assam, India. The study adopted a descriptive survey method for collection of quantitative data from a proportionate stratified random sample of 404 first-semester students across 16 degree colleges. Data were gathered using the Tromso Social Intelligence Scale and the Social Adjustment Inventory. Results showed that the majority of students demonstrated an average level of social intelligence. Social adjustment levels were comparatively weaker, with a significant number of students falling in the lower to average categories. No significant gender differences were observed for social intelligence or social adjustment. The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions at the college level to strengthen both constructs, especially considering the transitional challenges faced by entry-level students.
