Abstract The study titled ‘A Study of Socio-Psychological Stressors among College Students of Greater Chennai’ addresses the common stressors that college students deal with in today’s competitive world. The Study examines the different social and psychological issues with academic stress being one of the most important ones. The main objectives of the study are to assess the level of stressors among different academic levels (UG, PG, and Ph.D. students) and to explore potential differences in stress levels between female and male students. The study aims to analyse the perceived stress levels among college students, identify common stressors, and understand the impact of stress on students’ lives. Data was collected through a questionnaire survey method, with a sample size of 60 students selected via simple random sampling from two colleges in Chennai City. The survey aims to aid in counselling management by determining stress levels among students and identifying reasons for high stress levels, with the study findings of reducing or eliminating stress. The collected data were analysed using percentage analysis and mean score ranking techniques. The result shows that the main stressors are family pressure, interpersonal difficulties and, future uncertainty, and academic workload. To help students effectively manage their stress and help create a supportive academic environment, the research highlights the significance of customized interventions and counselling services.
