The principal objectives of the current study were to appraise the Emotional Intelligence (EI) among Engineering under-graduates in terms of gender, class and group. The research employs a phenomenological approach which is qualitative and the cohort comprised 168 Engineering under-graduates of second and third year belonging to semester-II of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) course at a prestigious Holy Mary Institute of Technology and Science located in a semi-sub-urban area of Hyderabad in Telangana State. The instrument is a slightly modified tool from Sarah Cook (2007) on a three-point scale. The data were analysed using frequencies and t-test. The main findings of the study indicate that the Engineering undergraduates possessed average levels of Emotional Intelligence. Further, a significant difference was found between the Emotional Intelligence among Engineering under-graduates in terms of Self-awareness ; Self-management ; Social awareness and Relationship management with reference to gender, class and group. The findings of the study holds a basketful of implications for Engineering under-graduates, Professors and implementing authorities. Directions for further research were also portrayed.
