Stress is an inevitable aspect of modern academic life, particularly in urban environments where work
pressures, deadlines, and institutional expectations significantly impact academicians. This study examines
stress levels among academicians in Bengaluru’s urban institutions, exploring key stressors, coping
mechanisms, and variations based on demographic factors such as age, gender, experience, and institutional
type. Using a comparative approach, the research analyzes stress patterns across different educational
institutions, including universities, autonomous colleges, and private institutions. The study employs both
qualitative and quantitative methods, incorporating surveys and interviews to assess perceived stress levels
and resilience strategies. Findings highlight the primary sources of stress, including workload, research
pressure, administrative responsibilities, and work-life balance challenges.
