Abstract
This study aims to compare the levels of Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Academic Achievement (AA) among Differently-Abled and Able-Bodied Students. A sample of 200 students (100 Differently-Abled and 100 Able-Bodied) were selected using purposive stratified sampling. Quantitative methods were employed, using standardized tools to measure EI and academic records to assess achievement. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and Pearson correlation. The results revealed significant differences in EI and AA between the two groups, and a positive correlation between EI and AA in both groups. Educational implications are discussed to promote inclusive academic environments.
