Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify and highlight the reasons for rising pressure on students in India perusing degree in Mechanical Engineering and other Branches and to suggest possible solutions. The study tries to cover all aspects leading to this phenomenon including rising population, inadequate infrastructure, loop holes in the educational system, parents' attitude, and self-doubt. The study also covers a few of the symptoms of this pressure including depression and suicide. The study incorporates the information and opinions provided by fellow University students. A few suggestions about steps which could potentially provide relief to the students are covered. The study provides an insight into the problems faced by an Indian student through their own eyes, and thus hopes to be of use for the formulation of reforms in near future. © IAEME Publication Scopus Indexed.
