Description The current study aims at examining the effects of perceived stressors and psychiatric morbidity on the students’ academic performance by taking COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Attock as case study. Using a cross sectional design the data was collected on four stressors, i.e. Workload, Emotional and Interpersonal Demands and three types of psychiatric morbidities, i.e. Depression, Anxiety and Social Dysfunction from 379 students. The Job-Demand-Resource Model (JD-R) model was used as theoretical base for formulating research framework. The existing literature states that level of students’ performance varies with the level of perceived stress and symptoms of mental illness. The findings of current study are in concurrence with findings of previous research. It has been found that perceived stressors and symptoms of mental illness were negatively related with students’ academic performance. The results of this study will be helpful to students, teacher and to administration of University for taking conducive steps to minimize the impacts of perceived stress on the students’ academic performance.
