People's stress levels are increasing every day, and research students at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay are no exception. The Research Scholars' Companion Program (RSCP) at IITB in association with the counseling centre at the institute has organised a stress management programme for PhD students on campus.

The programme specifically addressed the issues faced by a research candidate which causes stress. Aspects such as frustration with the selected topic of research, troubles due to inconclusive study, explaining situations to family and friends while others are moving ahead in their life, were discussed in the session.
