Personality, emotional intelligence, culture, gender and locale were correlated with Hindi achievement.

Results imply friendliness, interpersonal management, decisiveness, emotional stability and self-concept as important predictors in achievement, responsibility, dominance had negative impact. Tribal female were found to lag behind. Locale did not affect tribal students.
