Chemistry Experiments are meant to learn scientific procedure and students can learn skills to become competent scientist, forensic investigator, lab technicians and other related fields. So it is necessary to assess the lab competence in prior stage of higher education to become professionals.This research is aimed to study the Laboratory competence status of senior secondary students. Total 240 chemistry students of twelfth class (40-40 students from each school) are randomly selected from six UP and CBSE Board schools (three schools of each board). From the results it is showed that CBSE Board students slightly high competent than UP Board students in the Chemistry Laboratory work but overall result reveal that students have low competence in laboratory work. Most of the students cannot recognize and handle the commonly used apparatus properly and they are poor in drawing inferences and reporting result from some experiments done in the laboratory.
