This study examines the professional and digital competence of secondary school teachers, focusing on the influence of gender on these competencies in Jammu and Kashmir, India, and the relationship between them. The population comprised secondary school teachers from the Ganderbal educational zone, which includes 29 secondary schools (14 government, 15 private). Six schools were selected through stratified random sampling, with 10 teachers from each school ensuring gender representation. Data was collected using the Professional Competency Scale and the Teachers' Digital Competence Scale. Percentage statistics, mean, S.D., T-test, and correlation analysis were employed to analyze the results and test the hypotheses. Findings revealed that male secondary school teachers exhibit high professional and digital competencies, with significant differences between male and female teachers across various dimensions. The study also identifies a significant positive correlation between professional and digital competence among the teachers. It highlights the importance of teachers adapting to changing educational paradigms to effectively discharge their duties and prepare students for the demands of the modern workforce.
