Abstract:

In the present study an attempt was made to elaborate Academic Achievement of Secondary School Students in relation to their Mental Health and Personal Adjustment in Science. The sample of 100 Secondary School Students (50 Male and 50 Female) were taken from Government, Aided and Unaided Schools at Belagavi District in Karnataka State. Tools used for the study were the Mental Health Battery (Singh and Gupta 2005) and the Academic Achievement was assessed by the results of their matriculation board examination in the subject of Science. Results clearly indicated that there is a highly significant relation between academic achievement and certain dimensions of mental health namely overall adjustment and intelligence for the sample as a whole.
