In today's ultra competitive environment, students face more stress than ever be, it related to studies, examination, peer, teachers or parent's pressure. The present study aimed to explore whether academic stress, suicidal ideation, mental well-being differ significantly in terms of 1 st semester and 3 rd semester students of medical, engineering and general field. For this study, a sample of 444 students of medical, engineering and general courses was taken. Students were equally distributed in each stream with 148 students. Tools used included the Adult Suicidal Inventory, Mental well-being Scale and Student Life Stress Inventory. Data were collected using the technique of stratified sampling. Data were statistically analyzed by mean, S.D., ANOVA and Product Moment correlation. The present study findings revealed that the students of 3 rd semester are more stressed and prone to suicidal ideation than 1 st semester students as well as significant positive correlation exists between academic stress and suicidal ideation but mental well-being is negatively correlated with both of the variables -academic stress and suicidal ideation.
