In the highly competitive landscape of Arts and Science Colleges, where professional courses have observed a surge in demand, the quality of students enrolled is often below par. The expectations from parents and institutions remain high, while the faculty members face challenges in meeting the standards set by higher education departments and UGC. Consequently, the occupational stress among female teaching faculty in Arts and Science Colleges has reached unprecedented levels, leading to career shifts and personal disruptions. This study aims to analyze the reasons behind occupational stress among female faculty and propose remedies to overcome it.
