We live in a world that is changing faster than ever before and facing unprecedented challenges. In the current competitive environment, students need to balance performance and efficiency, so how they can correctly view the unknown complexity of life, how to carry out quality education and achieve emotional intelligence is crucial. The proposed new education policy mainly focuses on improving the quality of education, which can be achieved by improving students' emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence helps students achieve better results and provides them with the skills they need for their personal and professional lives. This study aims to study the emotional intelligence of college students. The study adopted a random sampling method, using the emotional intelligence scale developed and standardized by Reuven Baron for data collection, and statistical methods such as mean, percentage, standard deviation and t-value were used to analyze the data. The results showed that emotional intelligence was not related to gender, subject, university location, family type, father's occupation and family income. The emotional intelligence level of college students was at an average level, and girls had higher emotional intelligence than boys.
