Adjustment plays an important role in human life and maladjustment has adverse effect on personality, therefore it becomes necessary to investigate the reasons which are causing maladjustment in students. There are two types of schools – residential and non- residential. Parents select schools keeping in mind the all round development of their children. But it has been seen that sometimes children are unable to adjust themselves to the environment of the school. This happens mostly with residential students. This study conducted to compare the three dimensions of adjustment between residential school students and non- residential school students to find out the difference in adjustment between the two. Present study is Descriptive survey in nature. The quantitative research method was used for this study.
