Education is the development of all those capacities in the individual which enable one to control one’s environment and fulfill possibility. In Indian society, the level of Educational Aspiration and general intelligence are significantly influenced by the socio-economic status of the family. Lower level of general intelligence reduces the level of aspiration to achieve the goal & mission of life, through education. The purpose of my investigation was to study the impact of general intelligence on educational aspiration of socio-economically advantage and disadvantage group i.e. Non-SC and SC female students of class Xth. For purpose of investigation, one self made questionnaire and two inventories were used.Three hypotheses were formulated and then test was conducted as per requirement. The obtained scores on educational aspiration and general intelligence of the two said groups namely; were calculated separately. Means,S.Ds.and 't' ratios were calculated to trace out significance of differences due to different level of general intelligence of both groups. The mean score of Educational aspiration of Sc was 48.32 and Non-Sc was 54.67 and mean score of general intelligence of Sc was 44.58 and Non-Sc was 54.21 After analysis of data, it was found that Socio-culturally disadvantaged group i.e. scheduled caste group has been found equipped with lower level of general intelligence; which in turn might have lowered the level of educational aspiration of this group in comparison to socio-culturally advantaged group i.e. non-scheduled caste group.
