School medium was considered as IV and self confidence and social maturity were the DV’s. Two tools namely; Agnihotri’s Self Confidence Inventory and Nalini Rao’s Social Maturity Scale were used for data collection.

On social maturity dimension Marathi medium students scored higher than English medium students (t - 4.66).
