Abstract :
Educational activities need teamwork from
stakeholders to achieve intended targets. Teamwork is a
collaborative process involving interactions and
communication. Social interactions result in successful
collaborations when social intelligence is applied. Social
media platforms are used extensively by university
students for their social interactions. Social media usage
is a behaviour with a pattern that can be determined
psychometrically. With this idea, the present research was
conducted to study the association of social media usage
with the context of social intelligence, referring to gender
and subject stream. The study involved a sample of 208
students stratified based on subject stream, i.e., arts and
science students and gender. The data was collected via a
proportional stratified sampling technique for fourthsemester postgraduate students of the university. The
study's findings suggest the group performed average for
social intelligence and high for social media usage. The
students of the arts stream showed higher social
intelligence than science students. The male students
performed better in social intelligence, and the female
students showed higher social media usage
