Spirituality is something which is related to personal self, which means that how we are connected to one self-whereas religiosity is related to the devotion of the god and higher super natural powers in which one has a faith. Gender differences in spirituality and religiosity are an assumed reality despite the lack of empirical information that directly compares women and men. Researchers used a sample of 60 (30males, 30 females) graduate students of MD university, Rohtak; belonging to age group 21-24 years of middle socioeconomic strata. Spirituality Scale by Husain, Jahan, Nishat, Siddiqui and Akram (2011) and Religiosity Scale by Bhushan (1971) was used to fulfil the purpose of the study. The present study investigated whether there is gender difference between spirituality and religiosity. The results showed marked gender differences in spiritual qualities, and gendered patterns of spiritual development were identified that are associated with religious identity, peer relationships, and science exposure. Though, researchers foundno significant difference onreligiosity.Keywords

Mental health is a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community. To satisfy the curiosity of the researcher, the present study aims to see the significant differences among life sciences and social sciences students on mental health. For the purpose of the study, samples of 100 graduate students (50-Life Sciences, 50- Social Sciences) belonging to age group 18-25 years were randomly selected from PDM University, Bahadurgarh. The MHI-18 was administered on the subjects. Data was analyzed by using t-test. The results revealed that there is a significant difference between life sciences and social sciences students on the dimension of depression and overall mental health.Keywords
