Cross sectional study design was used and data was collected through convenient sampling technique. The sample comprised of two hundred undergraduate students from four different universities that include two government universities (GCU, PU) and two private universities (UMT, UCP).

The results indicate there is significant negative relationship between coping and mental health problems (ρ<.01). It was found that there were no significant gender differences in mental health problems. (ρ>.38) Findings reveal the significant differences between government universities and private universities students in mental health problems (ρ<.00) and coping (ρ <.00). Moreover male and female students were found to adapt different coping strategies to cope with stressors.
