Study involvement is a process by which the skills, capacities and competencies of the students are enhanced. Involvement in studies not only makes the learning a pleasant activity but also yields enhancement in learning outcomes of higher order and develops positive attitudes towards learning and facilitates creative productivity. Methods: Quantitative descriptive approach was used for this study i.e., including all the nursing students at College of Nursing JIPMER.

All statistical analysis has been carried out at 5% level of significance and p-value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: The result of study involvement and emotional maturity among 290 Nursing students at College of Nursing, JIPMER, shows that Majority of the participants 57.6% (167) were between 18-25 years and most of them 85.2% (247) were studying B.Sc.

Most of the students 63.1% (183) were extremely emotionally immature, 20% (58) were emotionally immature, 9% (26) were extremely emotionally mature and 7.9% (23) were moderately emotionally mature.
