This study investigates the mental health and academic stress of students from government and private educational institutions. A total of 257 students participated in the research, providing a robust sample size for analysis. An independent samples t-test was employed to compare the mental health outcomes between the two groups. Mental health is a pressing concern among students, with institutions playing a crucial role in shaping their well-being. Findings indicate that government institute students have low mental health and high academic stress, and it is also found that private college students have high mental health and low academic stress. and some extraneous variables can play a role in their mental health, but in this study, the focus is just on the mental health and academic stress of the educational institutes which they study.
