The present paper is an attempt to examine the major problems of adjustment among college going students to discover ways in which the college has attempted to assist students in making more satisfactory adjustments in problem areas, and to determine the need for a more dynamic type of guidance and counselling service to aid the process of college going student adjustment. Sample for the study includes 64 college going student (32 boys, and 32 girls) between the age group of 19-25 years, ten different colleges from Nagpur. The data were analyzed with the help of compared �t� test, an analysis of variance showed a Mean of college going boys, 35.21, and college going girls Mean 42.75, and t-value is -4.367, significant at 0.05 level. Based on study, more careful reflection on the unhealthy elements in college life will contribute to a higher degree of adjustment to problems in student experiences. This demands that the college management give special attention to the possible role of teachers, non- teaching, peer- group, psychologist, counsellor and other significant persons in relation to mental health in college activities. Indicate the importance of specially organized procedures by the college in guiding the student in finding balance and poise in home, health, social, and emotional adjustment, so as to adjust himself to the college community and life in the most productive manner.
