In today’s competitive world, every student is likely to experience stress at some
point. While some students may feel more stressed than others and some may manage
stress more effectively, yet it is impossible for anyone to completely eliminate stress
from their lives. The study investigated the relationship of perceived academic stress
and coping strategies among undergraduate students. Online survey was adopted to
collect the data from the students. The instrument used for the study was perception of
academic stress scale (PAS) and Brief-COPE. 366 students responded the survey.
The findings of the study indicated that there was a significant difference between male
and female students in perceived academic stress however no significant difference
was found in Brief-COPE. A negative significant relationship was found between PAS
and Brief-COPE. The study finding can pave way for other researcher by illuminating
on the association of academic stress and coping strategies of undergraduate students.
