Problem solving is the ability to think and reason on given levels of complexity.  Individuals who have this ability are able to see a problem from different perspectives and arrive at solutions easily.   Further, individuals who have acquired effective problem solving techniques are able to solve problems at higher levels of complexity than  those  who have had  no such training. When anyone is faced with a problem, he/she   uses all his abilities, intelligence, thinking, imagination, observation etc. to arrive at a solution. In the present study an attempt has been made to find out the problem solving ability of Higher Secondary School students of Shillong Town.
