Self-awareness, at any stage, is very important in an individual’s life as it includes the recognition of cognitive- and social-, as well as emotional intelligence within the self. This study was conducted with an aim to assess the self-awareness of adolescent students. The descriptive survey method was used for the 405 students of Kolkata (South Kolkata and North Kolkata), selected through purposive sampling technique. A standardized questionnaire was prepared for assessing the nature of a student’s self-awareness while t-tests were conducted to test the hypotheses. Results indicate that during adolescence - students become very much aware of themselves which, in turn, emphasizes the requirement of a proper development of their self-awareness. Therefore, a major contribution of this paper may be that it provides a platform to isolate some of the factors which might affect the self-awareness of the adolescent students.
