Self is the ability to make a balanced judgment by comprehending the complexity of the task and situation in hand. Emotional Intelligence is the ability to distinguish the problem from a given situation or conditions and to find out ways in which to overcome such situations. Academic achievement is described as performance in the subjects of the curriculum. The present paper is undertaken with a view to study the interaction effect of selected independent variables viz., Self and Emotional intelligence on dependent variable Academic Achievement. The findings of the study revealed that high and low Self, and Emotional Intelligence both influence on academic achievement of students. But Interaction effects of the self and emotional Intelligence do not influence on academic achievement of students. Self is a gestalt which is available to awareness through not necessarily in awareness. Emotional problems are of minor nature but they have potentiality to cause disturbance and deleterious effect on academic achievement. Emotional intelligence enables the students to receive emotions, express emotions and attain emotional knowledge to regulate their emotions reflectively, so as to promote their emotional and intellectual growth. The academic performance of CBSE school students is influenced by both the variables like Self of the students as well as their Emotional Intelligence.
