The current study examined relation in academic stress, self-efficacy and peer relations among college students. The sample of 400 students (200 boys and 200 girls) was collected from various colleges of Hisar and Delhi. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Method was used to analyze the results. The findings indicated that academic stress was significantly negatively related with self-efficacy (r=0.-48, p<.01), and peer relations (r= -0.26, p<.01). Thus, the findings have important implications in understanding increasing rate of academic stress among students.
