Current study is an observational prospective study. Stress levels of participants were tested through applying questionnaire of International Stress Management Association. A total of 250 Individuals participated in the study. The participants were randomly selected. Study was conducted in four months period from September to December 2016. Descriptive statistics and chi square were used to analyze the study data using SPSS. It was observed that out of 250 participant 8(3.2%) posses less stress, 138 (55.2%) posses moderate stress, 104 (41.6%) posses high stress.). Based on qualification 68 (42.77%) of participant with a qualification of graduation were with high stress. the difference was statistically significant (p=0.001). Based on residence 36 (65.454%) of participant reside in DHA were with high stress and the difference was statistically significant (p= 0.000).
