To conclude with this topic, we are making a strong point
that even students face stress in their life. It is not only the work group
which faces stress. As the students are growing citizens of our future city,
they must be guided in a proper way to face the uncertainty and stress
arising out of them. It is necessary to save our future society spoiling fromthe stress factors and bad habits arising because of it. We found different
stressors which cause stress. Our simple survey in the department gave us
the information regarding the stress in P G level and stress faced by them in
their past. Stress is a part of life. Nobody can avoid stress, but they can face
it and handle the situations. In most of the cases, eustress is considered asgood for the students to achieve in their life. There are lots of techniques to
manage the stress and handle the situations. The students who control the
stress will surely get through any hard situations. Instead of avoiding stress,
avoid the bad habits arising of stress.
