The objective of the present study was to examine the gender differences among engineering students on hope, optimism and neuroticism. Two hundred engineering (100 Male & 100 Females) students in the age group of 19 to 25 years from different engineering colleges in Pune and Pimpri- hinchwad responded to Trait Hope Scale by Snyder et al. (1991); Revised Life orientation test by Scheier, Carver, and Bridges (1994); and NEO-FFI by Costa and McCrae (1995). Result showed that there were significant gender differences on Hope and Neuroticism where as gender differences were not seen on Optimism.
