 Background: Stress is a major problem for college students to face a variety of educational, social and personal challenges. Many first-year undergraduates live away from their parents for the first time. More advanced undergraduates face constant pressure for academic performance, as well as career options and job search issues. Keeping up with stress can lead students into unproductive rumors that consume energy and increase the stress experience. Aggravated stress can impair resilience factors such as the ability and hope to forgive many perceived or genuine interpersonal violations that surround college undergraduates. Although a certain level of stress leads to improved performance, too much stress can negatively impact physical and mental health.  Objectives: To assess the stress level among the nursing students studying in the Panna Dhai Maa Subharti Nursing College at Meerut. -To associate the selected demographic variables with the stress level of nursing students studying in the Panna Dhai Maa Subharti Nursing College at Meerut.  Methodology: A Descriptive study was conducted among 100 1st year B.Sc students in Panna Dhai Maa Subharti Nursing College at Meerut.The samples were collected by non-probability convenient sampling technique.
