Abstract
Work is a central part of human life. It is the expression of the basic need to accomplish, to create, to feel satisfaction, and to feel meaningful. Rewarding work is an important and positive part of our lives. However, when work denies people an opportunity to utilize their creativity, intelligence, and decision-making ability, it causes stress. Occupational stress is a global issue in modern life (Smith, 2000; Lu et al., 2003; Chang and Lu, 2007). It can be well defined as that unpleasant or negative experience (Spector, 2008) and it referred to work stress and job stress (Geving, 2007; Spector, 2008). Therefore, many organizations are increasing concern on employee stress. According to Williams and Cooper (2002), work stress is one of the main issues in the occupational safety health and organizational welfare. There are many professions that are highly stressful and one among such a profession is Information technology profession, which may be attributed to a large number of factors. This is a research done to study the perception of employee’s educational qualification on occupational stress among the IT sector in Bangalore city. 309 samples in the IT sector were tested with a questionnaire. The analysis of the study was done using SPSS. Specific tools for specific objectives were used.

Post hoc analyses are carried to find the significance between subgroups. Homogenous subsets are also derived to study which subgroups have a significant difference. The study showed that graduate employees had more stress than post graduate and professionally qualified employees.
