Metacognitive Abilities are now emerging as the advance paradigm for senior secondary education. The present study was conducted for measuring Metacognitive Abilities among government and private Senior Secondary school Students. A representative sample of the entire population was gathered from 257 secondary school students. The purposive sampling approach was used to pick a sample of government and private senior secondary pupils. For this study, the researcher used a survey research approach. For this study, the researcher solely employed a Punita Govil-developed Metacognition Inventory (MCI) questionnaire. The investigator employed mean, standard deviation, and t-test to analyses and interpret the data. The study revealed that there is significant difference in metacognitive abilities between Male and female students of government and private senior secondary school. The study also revealed that there is a significant difference in metacognitive abilities between urban and rural students of government and private senior secondary school and there is no significant difference in metacognitive abilities between the arts and science stream students of government and private senior secondary school.
