Abstract

This study investigated the psychosocial competencies of undergraduate students at the University of Delhi, utilizing a descriptive survey method with 120 participants. The research assessed five dimensions of communication, social adjustment, stress management, problem-solving, and self-awareness using the reliable Psychosocial Competence Scale (PCS) developed by Raghu (2022). While students demonstrated strengths in articulating opinions and resilience after failure, challenges such as discomfort in group settings, anxiety in unfamiliar situations, and sensitivity to criticism were notable. The findings highlighted the need for targeted interventions to improve emotional regulation, social skills, and support systems, ultimately fostering student well-being and success. Recommendations included implementing training programs focused on communication, emotional regulation, and collaborative problem-solving, as well as creating supportive environments that encouraged help-seeking behaviors and self-reflection to enhance overall student development.
