This study investigated the relationships between suicidal ideation, emotional competence, among 300 undergraduate students at Lucknow City University. Utilizing a cross-sectional design, the research examined these variables through validated self-report scales. Results revealed a significant inverse relationship between suicidal ideation and emotional competence, with higher emotional competence associated with lower suicidal ideation (?² = 150.792, p < .001, f = .709). Additionally, B.Sc. students demonstrated significantly higher emotional competence than B.A. students (t(198) = -4.423, p < .001). These findings underscore the critical role of emotional competence in mitigating suicidal ideation among university students, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support programs. Future research should explore the underlying factors contributing to the observed differences in emotional competence and further examine the complex interplay of adjustment and social factors influencing student mental health.
