The main aim of the present study was to compare certain areas of adjustment and academic achievement of secondary school students. The sample consisted of 90 students (40 boys and 50 girls) with the age range from 14 to 17 years. Bell Adjustment Inventory developed and standardized by Mohsin and Shamshad (1968) was used to find out adjustment level of students. Average marks of last three years annual results were considered as academic achievement of boys and girls students. The t test was used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that boys and girls students differed significantly in overall adjustment process. Although, there were no significant difference among the different level of adjustments i.e. home, health, social and emotional.
