Emotional intelligence has been linked with numerous positive outcomes in life. Consequently, it has been the focus of many theories. The present study was built upon the conceptualization of trait emotional intelligence as the self-perception of academic abilities. The main objective of the study was to investigate trait emotional intelligence as a predictor of academic achievement in the university students. A cross-sectional survey method was adopted to probe the research objectives. A sample of 150 undergraduate students (Men=79, Women=71) with the mean age of 21.06 (SD=1.39) was drawn from the two private universities of Lahore with the help of nonprobability convenient sampling strategy. Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire- Short Form: The TEIQue-SF (Petrides & Furnham, 2006) was used to assess emotional intelligence and CGPA was taken into consideration for academic achievement. Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant positive relationship between sociability and academic achievement while no significant relationship shown with other subscales of trait emotional intelligence. Regression analysis revealed that only sociability proved a significant predictor of academic achievement in university students. The present research will help to extend the interaction of trait emotional intelligence with academic achievement in Pakistan’s higher education system.
