Educational aspirations can be described as expectation of a learner regarding level of education he will achieve in his life. This acts as a motivating force which determines academic success, helps set career goals, and economically empowers adolescent girls. This quantitative survey study focuses on analyzing the differences in the level of educational aspiration among underprivileged adolescent girls (Class IX-X, BPL ration card holders) across five selected subdivisions of North 24 Parganas, West Bengal: Barasat, Bangaon, Bashirhat, Barrackpore, and Bidhannagar. The Level of Educational Aspiration Test: LEAT-K was used to measure aspirations, and data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test via IBM SPSS 20.0. The analysis compared mean rank scores of educational aspirations between reciprocal groups across the five subdivisions. The results demonstrated significant differences in the mean ranks of educational aspiration for seven out of the ten pairwise comparisons.
