Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has been a global crisis that has touched every aspect of society, and its impact on mental health cannot be overstated. This abstract provides a detailed analysis of the multifaceted impact of the pandemic on the mental health of undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) students, shedding light on the complex challenges they have faced over the past few years.The pandemic prompted a seismic shift in the educational landscape, forcing universities and colleges worldwide to pivot to remote learning and implement social distancing measures. This abrupt change in academic delivery significantly affected the mental well-being of UG and PG students.Loneliness was another prevalent theme. Social distancing measures and lockdowns made it difficult for students to maintain their social connections, leading to feelings of isolation and disconnection. Lack of in-person social support exacerbated mental health issues, especially for those living far away from family and friends.
