The social environment has a significant impact on career development. Interpersonal and communication skills are additional terms for social skills.

The ability to recognize one's own emotions and those of others, use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior, and manage and/or adjust emotions to adapt to environments or achieve one's goals is known as emotional intelligence (EI), emotional leadership (EL), emotional quotient (EQ), and emotional intelligence quotient (EIQ). Social competence, which includes qualities like social awareness, collaboration, empathy, and teamwork, is another crucial skill area to acquire. This study aimed to explore the influence of emotional intelligence components on social skills acquisition among post graduates students. Result proves that the self-motivation, self-regulation and self-social competence are positively and significantly influencing the social skills of the post graduate students towards their emotional intelligence.
