This review has analyzed how relationship between emotional intelligence, academic performance and self-concept is measured, which research designs are used and what is concluded from these studies. Findings have revealed that in most studies self-concept and emotional intelligence is used as independent variable whereas academic performance is used as dependent variable. Mostly MSCIT, TMMS-24 and Self-concept scale were used in studies. Quantitative research design was employed in most of studies. The studies revealed that emotional intelligence and self-concept has a great influence on academic performance of students. Females have better academic self-concept and emotional intelligence (EI) as compared to males. But males show more emotional clarity and repair as compared to women. Improving self-concept and EI, academic stress in students can be modified. By enhancing academic performance, self- concept can also be enhanced. Moreover, self-concept of students is also influenced by any type of disabilities such as motor disability or giftedness. As the students with such disabilities show unique performance in academics. This research is beneficial for understanding the effect of emotional intelligence and self-concept on academic performance.
