Emotional intelligence is the set of capacities that allow a student to properly manage their emotions and interpersonal relationships, when subjected to stressful situations, such as the educational environment; in which they have to deal with internal and external conflicts for good academic performance. The research aimed to relate emotional intelligence and academic performance in students of the National Autonomous University of Chota, Peru. The study was descriptive correlational, not cross-sectional experimental, and it worked with 325 university students who signed the informed consent, after knowing the purpose of the research; emotional intelligence was determined with the BarOn ICE Emotional Intelligence Test and academic performance with a data collection sheet. The results show a higher proportion of university students with high emotional intelligence (51.1%) and average academic performance of 12.59 ± 1.17 weighted score, results similar to those reported by various national and international studies. It is concluded that there is a statistically significant relationship between emotional intelligence, the adaptability dimension and the academic performance of university students (p = 0.043 and p = 0.021).
