As an instrument, Mental Health Battery (MHB) developed by AK Singh and AS Gupta and Youth Problem Inventory (YPI) developed by S Verma. Product moment correlation technique is being used to test the null hypotheses formulated after data collection and computation. The findings of the study found that autonomy, security-insecurity, self-esteem, intelligence and overall mental health of undergraduate male students were not related to their family problems, school/college problems, social problems and personal problems and hypersensitivity which The reason may be that undergraduate male students may respond similarly to stimuli related to autonomy, security-insecurity, self-esteem, intelligence and overall mental health and their family, school/college, social problems and personal problems and hypersensitivity.
