Teacher education is a professional programme where teacher educators play important role to provide  a comprehensive coverage of professional knowledge, values, skills to their students and have a strong functional orientation and also they should themselves be trained with the present day trend in the system of education to make their trainee students more competitive. Development of both cognitive and non–cognitive aspects of the teacher is the most important demand of the present trend in education. Teachers, the key functionary of any type of education system, are highly required to possess emotional competencies; to make use of these qualities to develop the same in their students. As it is well known emotional intelligence can be developed at any stage of life. At workplace, besides other factors emotional intelligence of the employees plays a significant role for creative and innovative contributions (Cooper & Sawaf,1988).In the light of the above discussion, investigator attempted to analyze emotional intelligence of the B.Ed. teacher educators due to their locale variations, i.e. rural college teacher and urban college teacher variations. The investigator adopted the normative survey design to conduct the present investigation. By using a standardized tool of emotional intelligence scale of Hyde, et al.(2002), data were collected by Purposive sampling technique from182 B.Ed. teacher educators of Murshidabad district; where 115 rural teacher educators and 67 urban teacher educators participated. Emotional intelligence (EQ) of the teacher educators has been analyzed by using measure of central tendency, measures of variability and ‘t’ tests are used to analyze the mean differences of the variables. The result of the investigation indicates that emotional intelligence of the B.Ed.  teacher educators differs significantly due to their locale variations. It has also been observed that dimensions wise emotional intelligence of the urban teachers are much better in the self–awareness, empathy, emotional stability, managing relation, integrity, self–development and value orientation, where as, self motivation, commitment and altruistic behaviour of the rural teacher educators are significantly better than the urban teachers educators.
