Research tools, Locus of control by Julian Rotter (1966) & Stress questionnaire by International Stress Management Association UK (2009) were used for data collection. The cross tabulation output results depicts that 84 male/ female students showed the mediating role of locus of control on stress at moderate level. Similarly 19 male/femle students rated at high internal locus of control in relation with low and moderate level of stress. While 32 male /female students with high external locus of controlrated on high level of stress. The output results also indicated that 32 and 33 male/female students with high level of external or low level of internal locus of control rated on high level of stress.
