Struggles have become predominant feature of modern life that may be due to the mismatch between Individual's abilities and their demands. It does not affect only the physical and financial balance of an individual but also the psychological as well. No one can expect desired results from anyone who is exhausted and stressed, as one loses ones energy, accuracy and innovative thinking. This paper investigated the stressors, symptoms and effects that are likely to be experienced by the students in institutions (Private and Government). Stressors related to time, academic pressure, academic environments and its impact on health were explored. A total of 300 students (Girls&Boys, aged 18-20 years) participated in this study. Data was collected through self-administered questionnaires and a standardized test that were randomly distributed to the students. Obtained data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and Tables.
