E-learning scale by Dimple Rani (2014) and Adjustment Inventory for school students (AISS) by Sinha and Singh (2013) was used to collect the data. Statistical techniques such as Mean, Standard Deviation, SED, t-test and coefficient of correlation were used to collect the data. The results indicated that there is a positive correlation between e-learning and adjustment. It is also found that there exists significant relationship between e-learning and adjustment of adolescents.
