Today youth are tomorrow’s future. They are the treasures that need to be shaped well for a sustainable future for a nation. Globally there are many sectors where we have seen stress as a dominant feature that the world is trying to tackle but among them education sector is where we have been seeing stress at its peak as the students are committing suicides as they are unable to handle the stress within them. India is a nation that is growing at a rapid speed from every perspective but when it comes to the educational sector the sector is going in a backwards direction where ranking and marks are given high importance by both family and educational institutions. Education and job uncertainty are leading the students no choice but to commit suicide. The present research is concentrated on exploring the status of stress management in college students. It is seen that educational backgrounds play a critical role in building up stress in college students. There is the least awareness of stress built up in students which is discussed in detail in the present paper.
