India has huge population within its boundaries which will create more vocational problem than before. There are many examples of the persons doing jobs below their qualities, abilities, interest and aspirations. Everywhere we see the rush of unemployed persons but the other side of the coin is that there are many such vocations which are vacant for the eligible candidates. So it is very necessary that the interest of the person should be judged since the beginning stage of life. So the researcher tries to make an attempt to study the vocational interest with regard to gender and level of educational aspiration of secondary school students. Result of the study revealed that two groups of secondary level students namely boys group and girls group are found significantly difference on their vocational interest. On educational aspiration dimension students having average level of educational aspiration were not significantly different from the students having high level and low level of educational aspiration while the student having low level of educational aspiration were significantly different from the student having high level of educational aspiration.
