Social competence is a crucial component of contemporary society. The degree to which an individual has developed the depth and strength of social competence necessary for his self-actualization, development, and growth determines how successful he will be in society. In the present study an attempt was made to find out the status of Social Competence of Secondary School students in Nagaon and Kamrup (Metro) District of Assam. The Social competence tool developed by V.P.Sharma, Prabha Shukla & Kiran Shukla was used in the study. The results revealed that no significant difference was found between Nagaon and Kamrup (Metro) district of Assam in relation to the social competence of students. However, small differences were found in the mean scores of the students, it is not large enough to be considered statistically significant. It may be due to random chance.
