To study intellectual development of M.A students, 40 science and humanities students were interviewed by king and Kitchener’s interview (RJI). According to King and Kitchener scoring scale, interviews data was scored to distinguish reflective judgment stage of students. In order to analyze data qualitatively analytic induction was used. Findings indicat out of 40 interviews, 12 cases were at quasi-reflective judgment, 14 cases were at between pre-reflective and quasi – reflective stage (between stages of 3, 4) and 24 remaining cases were at pre-reflective judgment (between stages of 2, 3 and third stage). The score mean of students reflective judgment was 3.5 which is illustrative of students’ transition from pre-reflective judgment to quasi – reflective judgment. It seems due to higher education weakness intellectual development of post graduate students is not at the proper level
