Using a descriptive survey research design, data were collected from 50 scheduled tribe undergraduate students residing in a government hostel through random sampling. The Life Skills Scale (LSS-KCTA) by Chandra Kumari and Ayushi Tripathi, comprising 52 items with high reliability (0.90), was employed. Finding of the study reveal a significant difference in life skill scores between male and female students, with males scoring higher. However, no significant differences were found across other demographic and institutional factors, indicating uniformity in life skill levels among scheduled tribe undergraduate students regardless of institutional and demographic characteristics. These findings highlight the importance of addressing gender disparities in life skill development while recognizing the overall consistency in life skill levels within this population.
