This research study was undertaken to determine emotional intelligence among mentally fit and mentally ill subjects from Haryana, India. The study also tries to find the gender differences among the variable mentioned above. The emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS- SANS) by Dr. Arun Kumar Singh and Dr. Shruti Narain was used in the present study to achieve the study’s objectives. A total of 200 subjects were taken from schools and hospitals in Haryana, India. The age range of all the subjects was between 12 to 17 years. The study results revealed that the mean scores of the subjects of the mentally fit group showed a higher level of emotional stability than the subjects of the mental illness group (Group 1= 22.37, Group 2= 14.97). In context to gender analysis, the study revealed that subjects showed the same level of emotional intelligence for both genders within the group. The study also revealed the same level of emotional intelligence for both genders among the mentally fit group and mental illness group. However, there seemed to be a difference between the groups when studying emotional intelligence.
