The sample of 220 11th class students was selected from government and private 10+2 schools located in the rural and urban areas of the selected district. Tool for collecting the data included Adjustment Inventory for School Students constructed and standardized by A.K.P. Sinha and R.P. Singh (1971). The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study revealed that there is significant difference in adjustment of senior secondary school students across sex (males and females), locale (rural and urban), academic stream (science and social sciences) and types of school (government and private). The findings of this study may be used in devising skill training programme to enable students to learn the techniques to develop a harmony between need and circumstances for better adjustment in personal, social and academic and institutional lives.
