Abstract: This is a cross-sectional study conducted among medical undergraduate students with the aim to assess resilience against stress in each year of education. Self-efficacy in terms of college education and social functioning has also been assessed and its relationship with perceived stress examined. Results indicated that resilience varies directly with stress up to a limit beyond which it becomes almost constant. College going self efficacy is weakly related to both stress and resilience while social self efficacy contributed to both stress and resilience in both male and female students.
