By Deb Mahuya

Background of the Study Adjustment of an individual is determined by the individual's effort to survive in his or her environment. It is a process of maintaining harmonious relationship with the environment. During the process of adjustment, an individual faces many environmental challenges and conflicts. The adjustment of a person is influenced by the environmental factors and personality of the person. A person's individual determinants affect the individual's ability to adjust and deal with the problems. Each person consciously or unconsciously tries to satisfy his own diverse and sometimes conflicting demands in the environment where he lives (Abbasian, et al., 2013). If a person is unable to communicate with others or with his own social environment, flow of adjustment is disturbed and maladaptive behaviors or behavioral disorders might occur (Abbasian, et al., 2013). The ability to deal with the environmental challenges and conflicts, according to the demands of the situation is the proper adjustment of a person to that situation. Adjustment is a process adopted by an individual to fulfill the demands and requirements of his or her life through the application of proper adaptation strategies. The fresher students have to go through different challenges at the phase of their adjustment in the beginning stage when they join an Educational Institution. At the initial stages, fresher students are unable to adjust with the new setting of Educational Institution. Margolis (1981) pointed that separation from family, home, friends and neighborhood to attend a University, might have a lasting effect on an individual's future development.

The researchers (Mudhovozi, 2012; Kavdiya and Saharan, 2012) have identified different psychological and social factors related to the adjustment problem of the Fresher students in College and University campuses. Salami (2011) examined the effect of psychological and social factors on first year students' College adjustment. The study found that different psychological and social factors influence the adjustment of the first-year College students. Quasy (2010) examined the effect of gender and place of residence, on fresher students' adjustment in University campus. The findings of the study reported that the fresher female University students faced more adjustment difficulties compared to the male fresher University students. No differences found in adjustment of the students related to their place of residence,
