The pursuit of academic excellence is an essential aspect of students' lives. Improving academic performance not only enhances the educational experience but also leads to various career opportunities and fosters positive personal growth. Flow is a state of deep concentration and absorption in a work. It has emerged as an important determinant of academic performances. Similarly, emotional intelligence has also been linked to academic success and influences cognitive processes. Therefore, this study was envisaged to measure the impact of flow and emotional intelligence on academic achievement. This study was carried out on a sample of 173 respondents from classes IX to XII, including 101 male and 72 female students. A schedule was prepared for the data collection, which included Schutte et al. Emotional intelligence test, Jackson & Eklund dispositional flow scale. Results indicated that all four dimensions of emotional intelligence were found to have a positive and significant correlation with academic performance scores. However, the correlations between flow scores and academic performance were not found to be significant. Multiple regression analysis revealed that only emotional intelligence appeared as a significant predictor of academic performance. This result could be attributed to the ability of emotionally intelligent individuals to better manage their emotions, stay motivated, and maintain focus during the learning process.
