Mental depression was measured by the mental depression test constructed by Prof. L. N. Dubey (1993). To know the nature of data mean and S.D. used and to compare the Emotional Intelligence and Mental Depression between physical education and engineering student’s independent t-test was applied.

Data was analyzed by using SPSS 16.0 version software. The mean and SD of physical education students is 81.522 and 3.615 & the mean and SD of engineering students is 70.849 and 3.917 t-value is 17.909 that shows the significance difference between physical education and engineering students in comparison to Emotional Intelligence. The mean and SD of physical education students is 13.551 and 2.437 & the mean and SD of engineering students is 9.435 and 2.33, t-value is 11.462 that shows the significance difference between physical education and engineering students in comparison to Mental Depression.
