An instrument titled Academic Stress and Coping Strategies Questionnaire (ASCSQ) was administered on 320 students of the University. The Researchers’ developed questionnaire has three sections.

A reliability co-efficient of 0.72 was obtained; hence the instrument was statistically reliable. The students were stratified based on gender and age. The researchers then selected 320 respondents using simple random sampling technique. Four null hypotheses were formulated and tested using the t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical methods at 0.05 alpha level of significance. The findings of this study showed that the major source of academic stress among respondents was when there are various assignments to be completed. There was significant difference in the sources of academic stress among the respondents on the bases of gender. However, respondents did not differ in their coping strategies on the basis of gender and, age. Based on these findings, it was recommended that Counsellors should provide necessary information on variety of ways in which students can manage academic stress.
