Emotional intelligence of humans depends on experiences in family and living environment.. It is believed that rural people give more importance for human relationships, values and emotions compared to urban. So, we may expect high EI for rural students. In particular many psychologists hypothesized mre Ei for female students. For this, a comparative study has taken up on EI of rural and urban female students of Acharya Nagarjuna University, Andhra Pradesh, India. Data are collected from 382 female, out of which 246 are from rural area and 136 from urban. The results suggest that urban students have comparatively high IAA, IEA, IAM, and IEM. Overall EI is more for urban students.
