Results: A total of 234 Indian undergraduate students participated in the study and among them, 47.9 % males and 52.1 % females.The majority of the study participants (60.3%) were between the age group 21-23 years. The majority of study participants (56%) had physical aggression of range >27 and 51.8% had Verbal aggression of range >15.
