Abstract Stress is worldwide phenomena. Undergraduate students are backbone of their families. Boys are considered normally to face stress at UG level as they are considered as future bread earners. This study was conducted to Assessing Personal stress of Undergraduates students on the basis of locale and gender in Prayagraj, district. For this study 200 undergraduate students comprising of male and female were randomly selected from college students. For data collection tool on Personal stress, was constructed and standardized by Dr. Arun Kumar Singh and Ashish Kumar Singh (2016). From the study it was found that there was a significant difference in Personal stress of male and female undergraduate students. So, it is stated that female undergraduate students have better Personal stress than Male undergraduate students. Undergraduate students are very less likely not to have any stress. personal stress impacts both physical and mental health. Gender specific studies for UG students are required as number of enrolled UG students is increasing compounding the personal stress problem. female’ UG students cannot be left behind to tackle stress on their own. skilling for more UG students could dampen personal stress as it would increase their employability and diversify job options in future. Locality induced personal stress is reflected in reduced well- being of rural UG students. personal stress arises due to interplay of a number of complex factors which could be differentiated from academic stress in UG students. it is found that female UG students tend to developed more personal stress than male UG students. the possible reasons indicating higher personal stress females could be resulted from the fact that there is higher unemployment rate among all UG students. since there has been rapid increasing gross enrolment ratio in females in UG courses their job seeking chances have increased. so, to grab newer opportunities in job market they tend to show higher personal stress. UG students from urban area displayed more traits point towards personal stress than their rural counterparts.
