Abstract	The study aims to evaluate the emotional intelligence of medical and non medical students in the university campus and whether the emotional intelligence of these groups differ due to nature of their academic fields and how this may effect the professional and personal development. It was conducted among 387 university students aged 17-35 years from moradabad, uttar pradesh. The participants were screened based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Students were explained about the emotional intelligence and its importance. After obtaining a informed consent, a brief assessment was conducted. Outcome measures included the emotional intelligence questionnaire to evaluate the emotional intelligence. After this, the students were divided into two groups that is medical and non-medical students. They were evaluated accordingly based on the five competencies of emotional intelligence. The present study indicates that the female representation is higher in the medical field, while the non-medical field has a more balanced gender ratio. There is no significant differences between medical and non-medical students in how they score across the five dimensions. The correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed). There are statistically significant and strong positive correlations among all five dimensions (d1-d5) in both medical and non-medical students. The study suggests implications for curriculum development, mental health programs, gender sensitive policies, and improving field–specific competencies. The study concludes that there is no significant difference in emotional intelligence of medical and non-medical students at the university level. However, there is a strong interrelationship among emotional intelligence components of non-medical students which highlights the importance of emotional intelligence in shaping personal growth and professional competence. We can improve the emotional intelligence competencies by adding the integrated emotional intelligence training in university curriculum so that it can enhance the student’s personal and professional development.
