Abstract
ABSTRACT This study investigates the comparative adjustment levels of university students from Science, Commerce, and Arts faculties using the Revised Bells Adjustment Inventory (1962). The research assesses adjustment across four dimensions: home, social, emotional, and health adjustment. A total of 100 students (Science 34, Commerce 33, Arts 33) were selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis using ANOVA revealed significant differences in home adjustment (F 5.23, p 0.007) and emotional adjustment (F 8.75, p 0.001) among the faculties, while no significant differences were found in social adjustment (F 0.18, p 0.835) and health adjustment (F 1.05, p 0.352). Science students exhibited greater challenges in home adjustment (mean 1.59), whereas Arts students showed better adjustment at home (mean 1.15). In emotional adjustment, Science students had the best scores (mean 1.06), with Commerce students facing more emotional difficulties (mean 1.73). The study concludes that faculty affiliation significantly affects home and emotional adjustment but not social or health adjustment, indicating the need for faculty-specific support programs to enhance student well-being.
