Excessive stress could lead to psychological problems due to lack of stress coping mechanisms. The objective of the current study was to assess stress among students of various medical and engineering colleges and its association with various coping mechanisms. Methods: Present study planned for purposive random sampling study and was conducted in 2020-2021 among students of medical, and engineering colleges from the rural area of Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh, India, using a convenience sampling technique. The calculated total sample size was 1,000.
