Examining how resilience is related to college students' social and emotional abilities is the goal of this quantitative research. To make findings on this link, the research used data obtained from 1,411 students at metropolitan colleges. Students' ability to regulate their emotions, interact with others, and demonstrate social competence are all aspects of resilience that this study seeks to understand more fully. The emotional capacities (such as stress tolerance and emotional awareness) and social capacities (such as empathy and interpersonal skills) were evaluated with a standardised questionnaire that used a five-point Likert scale. To look for similarities or variations across subgroups, they also gathered demographic information such age, gender, marital status, education level, domicile, and technical competence. The participants' levels of resilience and any significant variations in social and emotional abilities were examined using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The findings showed that resilience is positively correlated with emotional and social intelligence. Individuals' ability to handle stress and bounce back from failure was positively correlated with the strength of their social and emotional abilities. Students with stronger social and emotional skills fared better under pressure and were more resilient when setbacks occurred. The results demonstrated a favourable correlation between emotional and social intelligence and resilience. Students with stronger social and emotional skills fared better under pressure and were more resilient when setbacks occurred. While gender and marital status did not affect resilience, educational attainment and environmental factors did. Emotional and social intelligence were shown to be strong predictors of resilience in kids. These results highlight the significance of colleges and universities encouraging the growth of students' social and emotional competencies to improve students' psychological resilience, academic success, and general well-being.
