Popis:	Business graduates are expected to possess a multitude of skill sets to adapt to a challenging business environment in the contemporary context. Emotional intelligence (EI) is one of them which has a significant impact on one’s intrapersonal and interpersonal life. Researchers urge that business schools should incorporate EI training into their curriculum. This study discusses the effectiveness of an EI course offered at a Business School in India. The study was done on a sample of 115 Master of Business Administration (MBA) students. An experimental group and a control group were formed. Pre- and post-assessments and comparisons of EI scores between experimental and control groups showed that the course was effective. The experiences of the students during the course were qualitatively analyzed to substantiate the effectiveness of the course. Data collected after the students had graduated revealed that they were able to sustain and apply their EI competencies.
