Introduction
Stress Management helps in managing the
stress of everyday life and reduces the
impact of stressors at the workplace. Stress
results in symptoms which vary in severity
according to people and situations. These
include decline in physical health, increased
levels of depression which could also induce
body-mind disorders such as dizzy spells,
anxiety attacks and may also affect our
immune,
cardiovascular
and
nervous
systems.

theoretical aspects given in books vis--vis the real
life situations. This brings in stress in a students life.
This paper focuses on stress within students and
suggests means to manage and control it.
To increase the confidence level of the students and
prepare them for facing the toughest of the

mock interviews, stress rounds, aptitude knowledge.
Not only the Institute, but also family support is
