The present study was conducted to study the social, emotional and educational adjustment of institutionalized children during 2003-05. The sample for the study comprised 148 children in the age group of 10-16 years residing in four juvenile institutions in Belgaum division, Karnataka state. Information about adjustment of children was collected by using Sinha and Singh (1997) adjustment inventory. Results revealed that majority of the institutional children had unsatisfactory social, emotional and educational adjustment and very few of them had good adjustment. Further, their age and academic performance had significant influence on adjustment of them. The adjustment of different types of abused children and   their different periods of stay in the institution did not differ significantly.
