Abstract
There could be various aspects of aspirants’ life that matter for them in competitive exam success. Emotional
Intelligence and psychological capital are the most important aspects which play a great role in competitive exam
success. Emotional Intelligence and psychological capital are analyzed with reference to competitive exam success
in the present study. The current study aimed to find the association between emotional intelligence,psychological
capital, and competitive exam results among schoolteacher aspirants. A sample of 426 schoolteacher aspirants has
been selected for the study. The emotional Intelligence and psychological capital Scale have been administered to
collect the data. For the data analysis, the Chi-square test has been used in the present study. Findings show that
there is found a highly significant relationship (χ2= 127.200, p=0.000) between different levels of psychological
capital and competitive exams,and other findings show no significant relationship (χ2= 8.438, p=.015) between
different levels of emotional Intelligence and competitive exams results among schoolteacher aspirants. So, it can be
said that psychological capital may have a more important role than emotional intelligence in competitive
examsuccess.
