A study was carried out on 180 college going students (under graduates, graduates and post graduates) to find out the effect of gender, level of education and type of management on mental health status. Mental health status of the subjects was assessed using Mental Health Battery developed and standardized by Arun Kumar Singh and Alpana Sen Gupta. Results revealed that irrespective of level of education, women are better mental healthier than men, type of management does not show any significant impact on their mental health status and under graduates, graduates and post-graduate students differ significantly with each other. Post graduate students possess better mental healthier than graduates and under graduates.
