- Abstract
India has one of the highest rates of suicides among students. The reasons may vary but failure in examinations is one of the most important factor. There are many complaints against the Indian educational system which includes long study hours and memorization. A study was done among the selected Corporate junior college students in Visakhapatnam city, by using 'STRESS COPING RESOURCE INVENTORY (SCRI) SCALE'. Results indicate stress coping scores are high in Wellness Scale (mean 3.05), and low in Thought Control Scale (mean 2.73). Among girls stress coping is high in Wellness Scale (mean 3.29), and low in Active Coping Scale (mean 2.72). Boys stress coping is high in Active Coping Scale (mean 2.89), and low in Thought Control Scale (mean 2.69). Family support plays a key role for students facing stress. Family members and faculty of Junior colleges should provide more support and care to help students cope with various stressors.
